I had a squeak / whistle noise coming from my car. In this video I show you how to find the squeaking or whistling noise on the drive belt pulley system in a car. I also show you how to replace the idler pulley as that ended up being my problem. I also show you how to loosen the belt tensioner on a 2004 Mini Cooper S.

Currently stranded in Iowa with the same problem! FML wife is driving 6 hours with my truck and a trailer so I can tow it home tomorrow. Thanks for the video!
Yup same noise. I have the part. 2008 mini. This was very helpful. Thnx.
Thanks. Just fitted this on my 2004 cooper s. Worked a treat! Pulley was only £20.
Perfect, thanks! My sons Mini had the exact same sound. pulled the wheel, liner, and checked the pulley. Yep that is it. Got one on order. I was thinking it might be supercharger, so I'm glad it is an easy fix.
excellent post! spent hours looking for a cheap aux belt tool. then came across this! yoink!
Hey thanks a lot for posting this as I have the same issue on my 2014 Mini One and was dreading an altenator replacement or a Thrust bearing but you hit the nail on the head and saved me a stack. Thanks a million.
You know, I was sat in my car trying to work out what the whistle was. It was uncanny how similar the sound was. Cheers!
My 04 cooper s has started to make that noise for the last few days but it sounds louder than yours. I couldn't tell which pulley was making the noise. Thanks for your video, hopefully you've helped find my problem too.
I told u about the sound earlier from my mini. It's not attached with engine acceleration like this . It's different and not much noisy 😶 :) mine is not idler pulley ) but u r good in mechanic that's a good thing to do all by ur self.
You great man.. I believe I might have this same problem. I'm going to tackle it soon and your video has been so helpful. Thanks :)
Your video really helped me to find where my noise was from ! Greetings from France !
The torque for the idler pulley bolt is 45 Nm (33 ft-lb). In the Bentley manual it's in the section on removing the timing chain housing cover, page 117-15. Apparently the timing chain is the only job where you'd have to remove the idler pulley.
yup my 2010 clubman is doing this i knew something was not right i bought it like that a day ago for a very good price i will get it fixed before i start driving it around thanks for posting this saved me $115 dollars in a inspection fee

Iv done one of these before but this time i ordered this exact same part, Its a Litens pulley and i wanted to ask can you remeber if it has adjustment? It looks like it does as your tightening as the bolt head doesnt stay centrally aligned to the pulley hat face?
I’m having the same issue even after replacing the idler pulley. It slowly went away but it came back and it’s louder than ever. I’m hoping it’s the belt since I forgot to replace the belt.
Nice work Daddio👍😎
My mini noise starts at 4k revs onwards , new alternator last year done less than 700miles , whilstling squealing in throttle at 4k revs onwards, idle is fine , :( bloody things fun when working 😊
Omg this just happened to me tonight, reading some of these comments I’m not driving the car till I fix it. Not gonna risk it.. luckily I have another car but thank you to for this video!
