Annoying Squeaking Engine R34 Gtt

[MikeR34GTT]

This is a bit of a stab in the dark, but I'm hoping someone has had a problem like this before and it's an easy fix (if only everything were an easy fix with cars).

For about a month or so now, I've noticed a squeak-like noise that is repetitive whilst the car is running and most noticeable in a closed area (such as my garage or hungry jacks drive through haha).

Have noticed that it's more prominent around the belts/pulleys near the alternative/behind the fan and was wondering if this could be a belt on it's way out, a bearing etc AND if I engage the high-beams/extra power use, it gets a lot louder.

My engine and bits are in great condition, service my car myself regularly so this is a huge bummer for me as it makes it sound that little bit more ugly and it's a pain to get into my mechanic, often needing to book two weeks in advance (with a chance he'll just be like *WD40 spray* $80 please).

Any pointers guys?

Cheerio,

Mike

Loose or worn alternator belt most likely. A bit of wd40 will fix it temporarily but check tension first, if tight then time for a new one

Thought so but I wouldn't say for sure, thanks mate.

Is this something I could potentially DIY or best a mechanic does it for me? I'm adept in skill level (do my own servicing, plugs, coils etc), not a noob but not a freak either.

Adjust the altenator belt. Not hard, just need to spend 5 mins thinking about what you need to loosen and then tighten the adjuster.

Sounds like Alternator belt or bearing. Its free to tighten the belt so do that first

Have a look at youtube, there is probably a vid on doing it..........its very very similar for most cars if you can't find one for a GTT.
