Hi all,
My Volvo Penta KAD 42 has developed a horrible screech which is kicking in at a reasonably low rev range (when moving approximately 5 or 6 knots) - noise will also kick in when in neutral and revving the engine.
Initially thought it was a belt screech, so have replaced the turbo belt, but to no avail... Now i am worried that the turbo needs replacing.
My friend suggested that there might be an air leak somewhere, and i did find a draft of air being emitted when the noise kicks in, but was having trouble isolating it.
It is a horrible noise, and is also accompanied by a burning rubber smell.
Please view the following link for a short 10 second video of the issue; (loud video, so turn your speakers down first!)

Thanks, Chris
