Just started up this morning to be greeted with a real whistle which I think is coming from the water pump. Definite link to the belt as the frequency is clearly aligned with the belt and pulley speed. Is this a sign of water pump on way out or something else. I am guessing water pump, is there anything else I should be looking at to find the culprit.

Literally, no sound two days ago and got this rotary whistle this morning.

How long have I got?

OK, so had the stethoscope test done and yes, water pump had gone. Not a bad life to be fair, 97K mls. New one installed and also had the belt changed as well.

Onwards.......

      Blown dash cluster & battery drain

      Hi John Welcome to the Forum What diagnotics are you using ? Check the main connectors to the cluster for a short to earth as you have 2 blown clusters worth sending one to someone like ECU Testing to see if it can be repaired ? The cluster recieves information from several modules so a full Diagnostic check may well show the culprit up Dave

      Blown dash cluster & battery drain

      840 d 2018 My cluster had blown after and resulting in a battery drain. Managed to source a second hand one which was fitted and lasted 30 mins. Once blown battery drained again and an intermittent 3 second beep in the car when driving. Removed the fuse for the cluster to stop the beeping and the battery stopped draining . Concluding the blown cluster is causing the battery drain but cannot find the cause of cluster blowing.
