This still plagues me. The S1 has done IT for the last 6 months and now I am starting to suspect the bearings in the jockey pulleys. I'll try the WD40 trick first.

ive been plauged with this i bought my stag back in dec 2011.

any info on a solution would be greatly appreciated. a mate of mine recomended changing the free wheeling tension pulley down on the right. think it might be the ac pump belt tensioner. not sure. if anyone has a part number for any or all the front pulleys id be keen to change em all, and my belts at the same time.

my stag has done about 80 000km. recon i should do my timing belt to??

I did all my belts around 90k...

its was making the sound after the belt change... after the mechanics tightened and loosened what they could.

we ended up changing the bearings also... the sound finally went away

Hey team,

Yep, my stag is doing the same, has been for about 3months, since about 76,000k. It's definitely at the front of the engine there. I did some testing this morning, narrowed it down to the right side of the engine; power steering, aircon or their belts. I am pretty sure it's power steering. I am waiting till tomorrow morning to try again to make sure.

Let you know how I go.

mine does the same, squeals for a few seconds on cold startup, other then checking belts I havn't really looked into it yet, but I think its the clutch in the fan slipping that squeals, after a few seconds of running you hear the fan kick in properly and the noise stops.

The third adjuster is underneath the little idler wheel at the bottom. Loosen the idler wheel first before you nip it up.

If you remove the plastic guard under the front of the car it is as plain as day.

My power steering made some noise before I changed the oil. It was reasonably obvious because if you turned the steering at low speed, it made the noise louder

      Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.

      Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.

      OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup

      Well, apparently they do fit, however this wont be a problem if not because the car will be stationary while i do the suspension work. I was just going to use the 16's to roll the old girl around if I needed to. I just need to get the E90 back on the road first. Yes! I'm a believer! 🙌 So, I contacted them because the site kinda sucks and I was really confused about what I'd need. They put together a package for me and because I was spraying all the seat surfaces and not doing spot fixes I decided not to send them a headrest to colour match, I just used their colour on file (and it was spot on).  I got some heavy duty cleaner, 1L of colour, a small bottle of dye hardener and a small bottle of the dye top coat. I also got a spray gun as I needed a larger nozzle than the gun I had and it was only $40 extra. From memory the total was ~$450 ish. Its not cheap but the result is awesome. They did add repair bits and pieces to the quote originally and the cost came down significantly when I said I didn't need any repair products. I did it over a weekend. The only issues I had were my own; I forgot to mix the hardener into the dye two coats but I had enough dye for 2 more coats with the hardener. I also just used up all the dye because why not and i rushed the last coat which gave me some runs. Thankfully the runs are under the headrests. The gun pattern wasn't great, very round and would have been better if it was a line. It made it a little tricky to get consistent coverage and I think having done the extra coats probably helped conceal any coverage issues. I contacted them again a few months later so I could get our X5 done (who the f**k thought white leather was a good idea for a family car?!) and they said they had some training to do in Sydney and I could get a reduced rate on the leather fix in the X5 if I let them demo their product on our car. So I agreed. When I took Bec in the E39 to pick it up, I showed them the job I'd done in my car and they were all (students included) really impressed. Note that they said the runs I created could be fixed easily at the time with a brush or an air compressor gun. So, now with the two cars done I can absolutely recommend Colourlock.  I'll take pics of both interiors and create a new thread.
