Can anyone tell me how much it is for a fan belt on a 2.0t 2004 vectra?
Its very noisy when cold and needs replacing badly!

I got one yesterday and was around £9 inc vat, Dont bother with non-gen as I found both places i tried were twice the price.

if its squeeky like its chirping.. its not likely to be the fan belt..
more likely to be alternator pulley..of which there is now a moddified one as its a common 2.0 turbo problem..
cost of replacing is around £120 plus labour...

This is true but there are a few on here that have changed the belt and it stopped, just as I did yesterday. You may be lucky

It is a deffinate chirping. only when its cold though. Its sounds to me like its coming from the aux drive belt, its in that direction. It completly goes away once the car has warmed up.
Ive got loads of noise from where the previous owner has put new pads on old discs as well at the moment! Really embaressing! lol! Can hear me coming a mile off, but for all the wrong reasons!
