: Fan belt might be too loose, or it might be too tight. It should only be tight enough to turn the alternator & water pump - overtightening it will shorten the life of these components.

: The rubber drains do act to keep engine fumes out of the cabin - replace them and the smell will go away.

: : 1. Screeching from the fan belt when wet....? does fan belt just need replacing or tighting ...or is this a symptom of something more serious.

: : 2.Recently removed the 3 rubber 'hoses'that are at the front bulkhead (in the engine bay near the heater fan) because they trap water....however now geting petrol smells in passenger compartment. I ve been told that the rubber hoses act as one way valves to stop th eheater blower sucking in fumes from the engine bay......Anybody think this is so?

: : TIA

: : P.S take a look at my website guys

Thanks Andrej
