| Octavia engine whine I have noticed a noise in my 2002 1.9 tdi 90. It is there as the car idles, and goes with increased acceleration. Its like a whine. The timing belt and drive belts have just been changed, but I'm fairly sure the same noise was there before. A bit noiser though. Could it be a wheel that drives the belt, or a pump. Car is driving spot on. No other problems. |

| Re: Octavia engine whine Alternator? If belt is tensioned too tight can put a strain on the alternator.

| Re: Octavia engine whine The belt is tight, but Im not sure if its too tight. Can I test electrically? The noise was there before the belts were changed, but has got worse. |

| Re: Octavia engine whine I have tested the voltage with lights on, heater on etc and it seems to be reading around 13.8v. Would VAG COM give an error? |

| Re: Octavia engine whine I think once you get your timing belt done correctly(other post youv'e got)might stop your whining.
