Is there an idler pully on all makes or are they only on the cooper s?
I have this strange sqeel when the car is on idle, the last time I had this the dealer replaced a pully/tensioner but I can't remember what the called it any ideas:question:

I could be wrong :I but I think the idler they are all on about is just for the belt to the supercharger. The only other idler/tensioner in the engine will be for the cambelt So I think the 'S' is the only one with an Idler as such :approve:

I don't think Mini petrol engines have a cambelt as they are chain driven (like the classic mini )quote:Originally posted by Big Gordy

what about an ansillary belt?
Thats usually what causes a squeal cos the belt is loose / slipping, maybe just needs adusted or cleaned?quote:Originally posted by Fontal

Maybe it's your alternator belt that's squeeling, or maybe it's a cat stuck under your bonnet
Don't be ridiculous BS! The cat's in the exhaust, not the engine! <tuts>

back onto the thread, it is probably just your alternator belt slipping in the cold/damp weather.
Take it back to the dealer AGAIN
