Re: screech on full lock
tbf i think most of the polos have a little screech when on complete full lock. How loud is it?
Re: screech on full lock
loud enough to hear, bout a second or 2 long then stops
Re: screech on full lock
Yea its nothing bad. new belt probably less than a fiver from local motorfactors.
Most do it on full lock, its the powersteering belt.

Re: screech on full lock
Just replace your alternator belt turk. Same goes for S Kayani
GSF/euro do them for around a fiver, but be sure to measure the old belt, as they are good at giving the wrong belts out. Id probably be tempted to a get a genuine VW one, but hey thats just me lol

Re: screech on full lock
On the polos, the auxilliary drive belt (if were being specific lol!) runs the alternator, power steering pump and air con pump.
Its very easy to fit - simply take off the drivers wheel. Make a note of the routing of the belt as its currently fitted. Get a 17mm socket on the tensioner - its spring loaded, so you have to untension the belt and remove it whilst keeping it untensioned. Refitting is a reverse of removal
