Thread: Cape trip!

Hello the other annoying thing that came from my trip to the cape of Fraser island was a squeak, coming so I thought from the alternator,
I've had a very carful listen and its quite hard but I'm 75% sure its coming from the water pump! I jumped to the conclusion that it was the alternator because I changed all the belt tensioner bearing the other month and the water pump has been changed because the bearing was squeaking 2 years ago, the receipt says 24/05/10! surely they should last longer than 2 years!!
after spraying CRC on the back of the pulley it stopped the squeak, can u change the bearing without taking the pump off?
Cheers ted.

Be carefull that when you sprayed the wd40 you did not get the belt as this would also stop the belt squeaking on the pulley tensioner and therefore give you a wrong solution

Thank you & spot on reads90, I took the landy back to MR Autos to ask the question and they knew straight away that it was the belt and not the bearing on the water pump, very good service by very good landy guys!
Thanks again
