HI Guys:
98 Disco. Bought it last year. 137k mi. on it. Had to do a lot of work as it was sitting in a barn (supposedly) for a few years. I have replaced the water pump, alternator, PS Pump, belt tensioner. I used a stethoscope at each pulley with the engine running, can't hear anything that sounds like that. The water pump sounds like metal rubbing against the (rubber?) seal, which I assume is because it's new. But no squeak in the stethoscope. The squeak is not a constant long squeak, but is definitely related to engine speed, not any other motion. It is a short squeak that repeats. It will go on for few minutes, and then quiets down so you can barely hear it. If I let it run for a while then shut it off, it will squeak for a shorter period of time and subside again. If I leave it overnight, it takes a couple of minutes to subside. I have no dash lights, no codes. Engine seems to run fine.
A guy I talked to tonight suggested the "Harmonic balancer". I can't even find what a pic of one looks like on any of the parts sites. The closest I get is pics of the front crankshaft pulley. Service manual has no listing for this.
So, if anyone can show a pic of one, or exactly where it is, that would be great. How to get one would be better, and how to replace it, awesome!
Also, any other suggestions that might occur are appreciated!
Thanks!
