Belt squeal, squeaky belt, belt noise? Learn how to fix a squeaky belt in your car. Usually the belt noise comes from the belt tensioner pulley, idler pulley, or the belt itself. The serpentine belt in your car powers the accessories such as air conditioning, power steering, the alternator, fan, and waterpump. There are three types of serpentine belt wear, pilling, glazing, and abrasion. Pulley wear will cause your pulley to squeak. A worn out pulley bearing or a worn spring in the tension pulley can also cause squeaking. I show you how to use water to identify what type of squeak problem you have and then how to find the problem.
Here is the belt that will get rid of the squeak due to misalignment: http://www.amazon.com/s/?_encoding=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&field-keywords=gatorback%20belts&linkCode=ur2&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Agatorback%20belts&tag=chri0e2-20&url=search-alias%3Daps&linkId=RR2BPLQO7JXS3LTH

Plastic fans wont take your finger off but the belts probably will
Gracias Chis blessings
Great video, Tnx for taking the time to help people with your expertise. I’ve had all my pulleys and belts replaced along with both tensioners when I did my water pump and timing belt in a 2000 4runner with very low mileage. There was nothing else left to replace and I did it all as a prevention otherwise I had no issue with anything but now after a year I’m getting squeaking noise when I start in normal spring weather. Not sure why? Any help wouid be appreciated. Tnx

The belt on my Kia only squeaks in cold weather, what would cause this?
Chris, wouldn’t you suggest using a mechanic’s stethoscope to listen to the pulleys?
