[twoquik]

Hey guys, just wondering if anyone knows any rememdys of getting rid of squeeky belts i just got a 100k service done they only squeek when the engine is cold for about 2minutes but its very aanoying.

This is unusual.

A mate of mine had this happen to his XG ute on the weekend.

The belt snapped, after going 200 m up the road after giving it some WD40, and we cant work out whether it was becase the belt was too tight, or if the alternator seazed up. Best to get a mechanic, or someone with a hella good knowledge to check it out

i think this is normal...

kinda like the belt running in, it will "loosen" and adjust in time..

glenn's car used to do this - but its all good now

check the belt tension. Most likely the other belts - i.e not the timing belt. Even if they didnt replace them to get to the timing belt you have to remove all the others.

I Mine were making heaps of noise till I tightened them up. he one that goes around the alternator needed to be fairly tight, compared to how I had it anyway.

I had all my belts changed only last week and on the weekend one started squeeling pretty badly, ended up being the belt that goes round the alternator needed tightening up.

I'm with Eugene, pretty sure this is normal, it should be ok in time. Just a quick phone call to your mechanic should be able to solve the problem

i would suggest that your belts arn't quite tight enough, this often causes the squeeling noise. otherwise spray a small amount of CRC/WD40/RP7 stuff onto the belts whilst running...this will get rid of the noise....if it returns the belts need a bit more tensioning.
