I have just completed a service of my car, oil change, plugs filters and so on. I am wondering if it's worth doing a few more bits and bobs to the engine at this time. I am getting a funny noise from it almost like a whoosh whoosh (almost a whistle type noise), it's hard to describe, it's not loud and it only happens at low RPM and goes away at high RPM. I think it's coming from the serpentine belt area and it could be signs of a tensioner getting a bit dry, so I was thinking of replacing the tensioners and the belt soon. From what I have read here the symptoms seem to fit this, any opinions? I was also wondering if anything else could be done as preventative maintenance at this point. I have seen some posts showing replacing the chain tensioners and was wondering if they are worth doing too at this point.
Fuel Filter is done, coolant is on a standard two year cycle along with my brake and power steering fluid (that's all renewed and on schedule). Brakes etc are checked regularly (every few months) and replaced well before limits reached.
I have inspected all my pipework (having already replaced a lot of it) and it's all perfect
.. But I would also like to do a gearbox and diff oil change... but I am reluctant to do this alone so would like someone with experience to help me with this (in Basginstoke in the UK).
Thoughts?
Thanks
