Hi folks,
Im after some desperate urgent help please.
Our Astra J 2.0 CDTI 2011, has today developed, what I can only describe as, a distressed squeel/groan from the right hand side of the engine.
It sounds like its coming from around the alternator/cambelt area.
In addition, im also hearing a faint distant metallic rattle.
Can you please help?
Its intermittent but in the last few hours and after about a 10 mile drive its gradually gotten slightly louder and more frequent.
My fear is.... water pump.
Car has got 65k on the clock and FSH, but cambelt not been done yet, was on my list to do at Christmas.
Also has the DPF full message today, dont know if its linked or sheer coincidence.
Please can you offer some guidance?
Thanks,
G.
