    Evening all,

    Just wondering if anybody can help me out and save me from driving the odd 40+ miles to the dealership to get them to look at it on Friday..

    Whenever I accelerate away from a standstill I get some sort of squeaky squealing sound from the engine area, and me being me and not knowing a thing about scoots have no idea what has caused it or how to fix it :/

    Alex Barnes has also noticed it, so it must be fairly loud.

    Any help appreciated :D

    i really only know from cars, but belts squeel if they slip a bit
    take the variator cover off and give the belt a pull see if its moves without much resistance
