Noise after water pump replaced

Hi Cram. Was the belt replaced with the new pump? Check the belt tension. If overtight or too loose it can make a noise. Overtight can be bearing noise, loose will be belt flap or squeal. Belt flap sometimes sounds like the belt is wet. I was taught as an apprentice that as a rule of thumb, belt deflection should be around 3/8 inch per foot of belt run with moderate finger pressure (bit hard to explain). Never use belt dressings on the belt, i.e. beltgrip, etc - if you need to there is a problem with the drive.

Hi Cram. You should ask that question on aulro.com as there's nothing they don't know about Landies there.
Cheers.

Thanks for that I will check out aulro

Cram,
easy way to check if it is the belt is to put a hose on and dribble so water on it and if the noise stops it's the belt.

Hi everyone and thanks for your replies.

I have had the issue checked out and it seems to have been the fan belt and it is now hopefully sorted.

thanks again

Cram
