Default whine fanbelt?

so yea, i been traveling to jimboomba from carindale for 9 days i will be and it just started comeing home on day 3.

i hear this whining noise from very close around my fanbelt turning mechenisims at the front of my engine. sounds like a duck drowning. and it consistant with the revs of the car iv noticed. how may i check the situation? just take the plastic cover off the front that covers the belt and ha the oil twisty valve thing that says oil. lol.

can i use a tone of wd40 to sexy things up? or silicon spray or the likes?

and when i turn my wheels i get a "buuuuurrrrrr" noise, last time i herd this i just toped up with powerstering fluid. but i just got a service 500ks ago pfft why cant things be easy!

Most likely one of the small idler pulleys need replacement. Need to track down which one. Can remove belt and spin each and check. Try there 1st but also check the water pump and alternator and like you mentioned make sure P.S oil is full.

Bingo.

The tensioner plastic pulley went on mine. The little bearing inside went and it sounded like a bloody supercharger. Replaced it with an new one from Ford $28 i think. Took about 30 minutes to replace
