If it is a belt noise, sprinkling baby powder on the belt will make the noise go away. Apply liberaly with engine off onto the belt and start the vehicle. The belt may have gotten coolant on it and this will cause the chirp. Also a defective belt tensioner will cause the belt to chirp
Check to make sure the belt is not loose. While you're checking the belt make sure that the belt is in good shape. Replace the belt if it has nicks or cracks.
The belt may be glazed (belt develops a hard glaze from age, dirt/oil hardening) and slipping. Try spraying 'belt dressing' on the belt. 'Belt Dressing' can be found at your local auto parts store. Ask the counterperson for it.
There could be another reason for the squeeking. One of the pulleys may have bearings going out and the unit may have to be replaced.
Let me know if you have any more questions or problems. Thanks.
Noise could be the result of a dried out belt, a belt that needs adjustment or any one of the pulleys driven by the belt. The oil pump has nothing to do with the belt. Inspect it and try tightening it up a bit. If that does not help, remove the belt and check all the pulleys for noise and rough turning, replace the belt and re-tighten.
check for a siezed pully under the hood remove the belt and check to see all pullys spin free with no noise also check the AC clutch make sure it free spins.
From the little information you have given me i would quess that the brushes inside your starter are going bad you may have someone check your starter!!
If changing the belts didn't stop the problem, it may be a pulley that is making the squeak, not the belts. When belts age, they tend to form a glaze on the contact surface, which can cause slippage, or squeak, or squeal, also if engine fluids get on the belt due to leaks or spillage, it can cause a problem. If you feel it's definitely the belt(s) making the noise, check the belt tensioner for wear. There is usually an indicator (stamped on the tensioner) that shows if it is in need of replacement. If that's the case, it would not keep the belt(s) tight, and could cause them to slip and squeal. Let me know what you find, or if you have further questions. Curt
It sounds like you Belt Tensioner is not Working Correctly. I would Replace the Tensioner. It should Fix the Squeeking Problem. Please Rate my Solution, I need all the Help that I can Get! Thanks!
