Loud Screech from Supercharger

Postby z0ton » Sat Aug 07, 2010 3:25 pm

My supercharger on my 4agze has started making a really loud noise whenever I try boost. I know its not belt slip for sure, what else could cause such a noise? Its very very loud...

Ive been driving around with it unplugged cause it was such a horrible sound.

I'm guessing it has something to do with leaving my oil cap off the other day and getting oil EVERYWHERE, it has since been cleaned up and thats when it started making the noise. If a lot of oil/water got in the clutch on the SC could that be slipping?

I've checked the oil level and its fine.

There isnt not too many things that could make that noise it could be bearings, rubbing rotors or the clutch either way the supercharger is going to have to be removed from the car and inspected.
