Hey guy, just bought myself an ep3 and it is running great but there is one annoying issue. When the engine is in vtec there is quite a loud squeal, most noticeable with windows down. It is very similar to this one
but only between 6k and 8k revs. I just can not find a solution... The engine works really well and pulls strong but this sound is driving me mad.

Thaks for help!

Could be the belt may be the auto tentioner is at its maximum and it will rattle a bit new belt needed in that case
