2004 A6 2.7T Engine Squealing Noise after TB change.

[Tongster]

Need some help on what this squealing noise might be after changing the TB and all the tensioners, rollers, and all the usual stuff. The TB Kit was from ECS Ultimate TB Kit with Gates. Did everything by the book and from some of the well written TB change DIYs on all of the Audi forum sites. After driving the car about a month this squealing noise appeared when the car is cold and started first in the morning and squeals for about 5-10 minutes then goes away for the rest of the drive. It needs to be sitting for hours before it comes back. Any ideas what this might be? I placed a couple of videos of the squealing sound problem. The first one is when the car is started in the morning and the second is when the squealing is just about gone after nearly 10 minutes later.

Thx in advance for any help!

Gates blue belt? Douse the belt in baby powder, the noise will stop.

Yes, the Gates blue belt. Is using baby powder really a method used? Never heard of doing that.

Yes. I posted it a solution a while back, people laughed until someone posted a video of him doing it. The noise will be gone and not come back.
