when I start my car (115bhp Tdi), I can hear an unhealthy noise coming from the engine compartment, which, after a short while disappeared and the car runs as sweet as a nut, no further noises until I start it up in the morning------at first I was so sure it was the alternator bearings, but if they were going then the noise would be constant ---I checked the belt and tensioner and they seem to be ok, but the belt is the origonal so it may have stretched to it's limits.---the noise by the way stops abruptly, it dosen't sort of lessen gradually.
Your comments would be welcome
