96 E320 Squeaking At Idle

Does Anyone Have Experience With A Constant Squeaking Sound At Idle? It Sounds Like It Is Coming From One Of The Pulleys. It Goes Away As Soon As I Rev Over 1000 Rpm.

Belt needs to be renewed

or a pulley needs to be checked out,idler pulleys do go bad,out of adjustment,and just plain dirty.Try a few drops of kroil or in a pinch wd40 in the center of the pulley,check belt tension,and condition.Be careful doing anything around a moving belt,they will eat you up!!!!!!!!!!!!!so spray the oil short burst on the pulley with the engine off.a shot of kroil on all the pulley centers will drive out moisture and dirt and help longer belt life.
