squeal only when accerating

haigy · Apr 27, 2013

My 94 300tdi auto has developed a squeal. It doesnt do it when idleing only when accelerating.checked the usual bearing on the pulleys all fine.only thing iv done was top up the power steering fluid with atf and then the day after jt started.
Bearings all seem ok.

Any ideas on what it could be

I have a v8 that was doing this, checked all the pulleys and bearings no play. Ended up running it without the serpentine belt on idle only and was quiet, turned out to be the water pump.

New water pump and no more squealing on acceleration/revving engine.

Uj could be squeeling. My front sounded like a belt before it turned into a knocking sound.
