    Noise after water pump replacement

    I have a series II Disco TD5. I had the water pump replaced last week and since then I have noticed a noise that I had not heard before coming from the engine bay.

    Spoke briefly with someone and they said it could be a belt?

    I can't get anyone to look at till tomorrow but was wondering if anyone had any ideas.

    I am in Newcastle. The noise is hard to explain. Someone at ARB had a listen this morning and said it sounds like a belt noise.

    Did you have a new belt installed at the same time ?

    What do you reckon?

    Is it a squeal, a knock?

    Try pouring a little water on the belt while running and see if it makes a difference.

    It is probably more like a squeal then a knock.... no new belt

    Sounds like a belt or idler bearing.

    Try squirting the belt with CRC first (where it makes contact with the pulleys).

    If it doesn't make any difference, try directing the squirt at the bearing itself.

    Any variation in the volume or frequency of the noise will tell you lots!

    P.S. Don't go nuts with the CRC!

    Ok will do it tonight. It is at ARB getting a bull bar put onto today.

    Is it likely that the bearing/belt may need replacing?

    Depends!

    I have replaced my belt a couple of times. Some squeal, some don't.

    As for the bearing. If it is squealing then it probably on it's way out.

    Having said that, my bearing chirps on engine start-up and stop. Drives the missus mad! Doesn't worry me too much and is not on top of my priority list.

    Do you do the work yourself or take it in? Easy as anything on mine (belt or bearing) and should take less than an hour to do both.

    Other members who live nearer to you may be able to have a listen.

    Thanks for that. Know I have to take it in. I am preparing for a trip, doing the Darling River Run. Last week I took it into a place in Newcastle that do alot of work on Landrovers and they told me it needed a new water pump.

    I have only had the car for 18months and it came with a warranty. The only catch was I have to take it to their repairer so I thought I may as well save some money.

    They took nearly all day to replace the water pump, this suprised me as the Landi experts told me it would only take a couple of hours.

    I picked it up last week and have not driven it a lot but I thought I could hear a different noise. I know the bloody thing far too well.

    So when I took it in to get the bull bar this morning one of the blokes at ARB in Newcastle has Disco himself so asked him to listen and he mentioned belt and/or bearing. So looks like you are on the money.

    Hope I can get it sorted as we are heading off in two weeks.

    I have only just discovered this site and hope to be a regular visitor.

    Thanks again
