squeak from the serpentine belt area ... again
hey guys. i posted about this last month, but im posting again just in case ... im taking the car in to the shop monday.

i have a bizarre squeaking sound coming from the serpentine belt area, but ONLY when the car is stone cold. after about 5 minutes of driving, the squeaking goes away totally, and doesnt return until the car is again stone cold.

anyone have any ideas as to what this is? bad belt? pulleys? tensioner?


thanks as always!!!

ur tensioner is going weak, and when its stone cold your alternator is working harder to charge the car back up and thats what causes that.
