Arghhhh my ears!!!

The supercharger system on my car has developed an incredibly annoying squeak on tickover which goes away when the revs rise - any ideas what the cause might be?

It's an ASA Infinitas SK Plus, and has been on the car for around 20,000 miles.
Everything seems aligned and tight, but it's difficult to tell exactly where the noise is coming from.

Here's a video:

Gary, did you fix this in the end?

The car is booked into Brystone's in Totton, near Southampton next month - they have always taken good car of the car in the past; in particular for anything supercharger related.

...so next month I'm having 4 new tyres, inspection 2 service, supercharger drive belt/followers/tensioners check/replacement, investigation of emmissions warning light intermittently coming on - brace yourself wallet!

I've had a similar problem in the past which was resolved by replacing the s/c drive belt - however the problem came back 6 months later.

Anyone else with an ASA Infinitas system (particularly SK Plus)? - would be interested to hear if you have the same problem. or all is OK.

Thanks, Gary

I've got the same supercharger and haven't had any problems with mine tbh

On my previous TS system, squeaking was resolved by changing the pulleys. It was the idle pulley first then the supercharger pulleys. The bearings wore out......:o
