My 156 1.8TS has started to do the same, assumed it was the auxillary belt and was just about to order a replacement, then I thought I would have a quick check for similar problems on here... Should I be looking at the clutch instead? Do you think this is a problem you could leave if you can stand the noise or will it cause more serious problems. Just my wallets tired of fixing problem after problem with my 156 (133,000 miles) so tempted to just put up with it. |

Well, I left mine.. helped by the fact that the screeching stopped once the warmer (over 15C) weather arrived. Been in Scotland this last week where it recurred just once: on a morning start when the temperature was 7C.... But I'll probably start fretting about it and looking for fixes again come October time.. |
