Tapping/squeal sound from engine

Good Evening All,

Hello and I hope you are well!

Sorry that my first post is one seeking advise.

I have recently taken delivery of a 63 plate RRS (27,000 miles) and today experienced an issue/sound coming from the engine bay.

While driving and stopped at a set of traffic lights the car juddered slightly and a tapping/squeal noise appeared which seemed to stop when I pulled off.

When back at home I managed to record the following clip of the intermittent noise, I have of course reported the issue to the firm that supplied the car but wondered whether anyone had any insight into the issue.



Many thanks in advance.

James

Looks like a loose drive belt or tensioner Thumbs Up
You can see movement on the tensioner in the video and it looks excessive

Hi Red Arrow,

Thank you for the response.

Would that be a fairly easy fix? Apart from having to deal with the noise is it safe enough to drive the car until sorted?

Thank you again, much appreciated.
James
