"Windy Guns"

Had a Milwaukie one for some time now and it's a godsend for me getting on in years plus semi disabled.
It wasn't cheep but it takes the same battery as my other tools so made sense o get it.
But i still use my torque wrench to finish the job.

Belt would be the first thing i would change.
I recently fitted a new one on my 320d and that did this so changed it again and all ok now.
Both belts where good brands Dayco was the first and replaced with Gates.

As above but look at the wires going to the injectors.
I had something very like this and it was one wire had rubbed on the steel injector pipe ever so slightly.
