Squeaking near fan belt?

Postby Drtyboost » Tue Aug 09, 2011 1:46 pm

Hey guys,

I noticed this morning that something is squeaking near my fan belt, especially when the car is at a cold start, any one know what it could be? Or had a similar problem?

Gen4 doesn;t have a fan belt..... :D :D

Could be the belt squeaking itself
try grabbing a bar of soap and with the car running, get some on the ribbed side of your serpentine belt
see if the squeaking goes away or not

Got the car serviced today, the belts at the front (a/c , pwr steering pump etc..)were old and cracked and needed to be replaced. After belt replacement , no more noise...you might be in the same situation

Put your finger on the underside of the belt (obviously while the car is not running :o ) and if you can feel any roughness/frayed on the edges of the belt, that may be causing the squeaking, and it will need replacing eventually.
