ok this is pissing me off....replaced my drive belt and the tech tighten it to wear there they are snug and tight and good.....it only squeek when start up at cold start ...other then that is fine the whole days even park the car for 3 hours is still fine...only on start up or leaving the car park for extended hours.. however the belt i use wear not oem belt..is it that why ??? . I turn the car up and see the belt move and it does seem move smoothly no slack or whatever but only squeek from start up....i tighten it more but im scare i might over tighten it and damage my alternator ...there no whine or no noise.....only squeek when start up on cold start..anyone have this problem ? i even tried to use some belt dressing.it only help a little bit...after that it coming back...im starting to think is the belt....

 

haha i have the oem belt on mine and its doing the same damn thing! i replaced the idler pulleys thinking one of them was bad even. nope i just wasted 100 bucks

 

so which one did u replace... the powersteering/alternator or the ac idler pulley....**** man... i hate it... i cant stand it everytime i start up my car that sqeek came on

 

My 03 does the same thing when the temp gets down below 40, my 05 does it once and a while. I just replaced the belt 2 weeks ago and deleted the idler pulley, no problems since.

 

Check the manual and use a torque wrench to tighten the bolts to recommended specs.
You can also use this spray thinggy which makes the belt/rubber stickier. i forgot the name of that spray. it comes in a can.

 

the two tensior(sp?) pulleys

and those come already put together you dont touch the bolts on the pulleys themselves to put them on.

 

he said he replace one of the idler pulley...so i aasked which one

 

bro i check thre manual and did it to spec... still does it.. however people said that wrong size belt or too long the belt will squeek

 

think please.. wat does it call

 

you ever find the name of that spray stuff?

 

I think it is called belt dressing.

update...as of now the belt is not sqeaking as bad as it should because of climate change ??? when cold it squeak real bad , but when it getting warm up ..it only does it for like split second's and second belt dressing ant working on this...still does it
