Belt squeal, squeaky belt, belt noise? Learn how to fix a squeaky belt in your car. 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.

    Thank you Chris for posting this. The tip to use water to test the squeak was spot on! I appreciate you passing along the knowledge in this video. I took off the Gates belt on my 08 Tacoma after only a few hundred miles and put on a Bando belt and all is well. Thank you again.

    Recently bought a used 2019 Nissan Frontier with the 2.5L 4. Belt noise when cold but goes away as it warms up. I will try a new belt. 82K on the rig. Unknown service record.

    My corolla squeaks for 10 second when i first star the car, after 10 second it goes away. Only does it in the morning. Once i drive the car and I start the car again it WONT do it anymore. What could it be?

    I dont know if you are going to see this but I have a 2000 ford ranger basically the same truck , and I changed my spark plugs and noticed my pcv valve was clogged and I have oil leaking next to where my 02 sensor enters my air filter. Do you think the oil squirting on my belt would cause squeaking?
