My son's 1999 escort 1.4 CVH has developed a whine for the last 2 weeks or so which is coming from one of the components driven by the auxiliary drive belt. He had gone through a bit of a flood the night before the noise started so I suspect water has got in somewhere. I'm finding it difficult to narrow it down. If I release the tension on the belt even the slightest amount the noise disappears.I have dismantled the belt tensioner and greased the bearing to no avail. I also replaced the belt as it was a bit frayed. My suspicions are pointing to the power steering pulley bearing. What I really need to know is whether the bearing can be replace or is it a case of replacing the whole pump.
Any ideas would be welcome even though it's not a Q Paschal -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Quantum Owners Group" group.
