Hello guys.

I've recently bought a supercharged ep3.
Last night whilst out driving the supercharger started to squeal very loudly.
Does anyone have any idea what would cause this ??

Cheers Josh.

Sounds like a knackered tensioner to me !

[SuperJR]

Would that happen all of a sudden as the sound started quickly instead of gradually ??

Possibly best to strip it down and have a look bud

Sorry to bump an old thread but what was the issue in the end with this? Having a intermittent loud squeal issue with my jrsc, hoping its tensioner or pulley related and nothing more serious
