Bought my 2009 i30cw 1.6L TD third hand last October, in part because of this forum
Recently had the serpentine belt go, lost power steering, speedo, managed to pull out of traffic into a Maccas carpark and called for backup (dad to the rescue). We replaced the belt, then noticed that the tensioner needed replacing as well - the spring was fully visible. $472 later drove home, but now have a lot of rattling in the engine at idle, which goes away once I get close to 1500 RPM. Replaced the bearing in the idler pulley, but still noisy. Also get a high pitched whine when the AC goes on, and when we did the water bottle spray test, noise went away - most effective spraying just before the harmonic balancer. Side point - trying to look up parts online, nothing to definitively say if the HB1754N will fit my car (why do so many places not recognise that the cw exists?)
3-for-1 bonus questions- ESP OFF light is on almost continually now (I've never switched it off manually) and I can turn cruise control on, but the set button doesn't work..... any ideas?
Thank you!!!
