    Sorry if this is the wrong forum. Thing is doing my head in so have nothing to lose!

    SO I have a squealing noise coming from somewhere underneath the hood in my van, similar to a belt/pulley noise. Il give as much detail as possible. Apologies if I give too much or give any irrelevant information. Have a several hour drive ahead of me in a few days and want to make some inroads into the problem before I risk driving it that far.

    Noise appeared several weeks ago, a random chirp/squeal. This occurs intermittently when cruising at speeds either in 5th/6th gear or third, any gear really. When I put van in neutral no change, same when I press brakes, no difference in noise. SO seems to be rotational issue somewhere. The only thing that seems to make a difference is shown in video. Basically, for example, im in third gear and engage clutch while accelerating, then I disengage it and when van jumps forward the pitch changes. I had the gearbox dropped a few months back and had a few troublesome bearings replaced along with the clutch release bearing. Only occurs while engine is hot too it seems.

    I was with my local mechanic twice, given that the noise is intermittent, he couldn’t reproduce it on the lift. He also removed belt and checked it along with all the pulleys. Nothing there. In the meantime I got a Check Emissions warning light along with a Check Injection. Brought it into Renault and they root caused this back to a short on the MAF sensor. Asked them to look for something regarding the noise but again, they couldn’t find anything. Haven’t got around to replacing the MAF yet, I think it’s a separate issue, or is it?? Other then above issues she drives perfectly, no loss of power, smooth gear changes etc

    Any light shed on this would be great.

    Has the timing chain been checked? Steering rack making noise?
