Hi Aidan thanks for the translation.  I have  looked at page 149 under Mechanical, and under "screaming alternator belt", it suggests the remedy is very different, and consequential if left.
Have a look. I will check the water pump for wear.

My ignition key does not go fully in to turn to start engine. I have looked in the barrel and there seems to be a small metal rod floating around.
