Thanks in advance to anyone taking the time to read my thread.
I own a 2013 MK3 Leon 1.6tdi se the 105ps one that has just passed 50k miles.
I've always kept up with oil and filter changes etc.. In the last couple of months it has developed a loud squealing noise on long right turns, although I've never heard it on a left hand turn I can't rule this out.
Seems to happen more often at speeds of 20-40 mph (may well do it at higher speeds but I suspect the engine and road noise covers it up). Starts at the beginning of the turn and carries on for a couple of seconds after the wheel is straightened up again. Seems to me as if it is getting louder over time. Sounds to me like a metal on metal rubbing noise but I maybe wrong. Quite worried it could be the cambelt on its way out but as I can't find a specific mileage or age this should be changed at I don't want to go ahead and do it without being sure. Thought I'd ask you guys who I'm sure are more knowledgeable than me about this kind of thing. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated!
