Belts are slipping. This is due to age or being too loose, you can either tighten them, making sure not to tighten them too much or replace them.

It is exaggerated when u turn the engine over as the belts are going from stopped to doing 1000 or so RPM.

cheers, i'll definetly tighten them, cause they are pretty new,

and hopefully that noise will go hehe

just changed both my drive belts a while ago. it's normal that new belts tend to stretch abit after a bit of a run-in. just bring it back to the workshop and ask them for a quick tighten. shouldn't cost a cent. and yea, the symptoms you mentioned are definitely that of a loose or worn belt.

Don't over tighten your blets as it puts excessive stress on the bearings of the part being driven.

Check the belt and pulleys if the pulleys are very shiney thats your prob.

Bosch belts are synomous for this.
