so i have a squealing problem. ive check the forums for answers, but could find any. now, everytime i turn my car on, my belts squeal. Ive changed them three times in the last year, and it doesnt go away! ive sprayed lube, and still doesnt work..so can anyone help me? btw, its the a/c belt.

 

you must be ocd.

 

no, its just driving me crazy! and when i have my kids in the car it scares the crap out of them and then...well they start screaming...common guys...THINK ABOUT THE CHILDREN! :-D. sorry but it doesnt scare the crap out of my kids tho

 

I think you need to tighten the belt a little more.

 

its really tight...and if i tighten it some more, im afraid that itll snap.

 

I have the same problem with my alternator belt. I start the car, and it squeals like crazy. It keeps going until my car dips down around 1,000 RPMs.

 

Have you checked to make sure theres not anything wrong with the pulley? Bent, Loose?

 

If you're refering to me, It happened after I installed my belt, after I installed my Light weight crank pulley. It was fine after I installed the pulley, but I noticed there was a tear in my alternator belt. The next day, I installed it and now it squeals everytime I start it up.

 

i know my friends integra. his car would squeal like a high pitch wine but it was because of the timing belt.

 

Could it be the wrong type of belt? Or maybe one of the pumps, etc it's cranking is whiling, not the belts?

 

Same thing is happening to me pep boys put a new timing belt and alt belt on within the past year and thats when it started. I took i tback and they said its fine.

 

mine does the same thing every one in a while. i think this is "normal" for a mitsu, because u look at all the first and second gen dsm's they do it as well. hopefully its just a tighten thing.

 

that shouldnt be a normal thing. it happens everytime i start my car if its been sitting for id say 5 hours or so. Or if its cold

 

dude same here, that's what my thread is about!

 

I just got my Alt belt and timing belt changed not too long ago and pep boys said its just breaking in. Well its been doing it for awhile and they said there is nothing wrong with it. I have sprayed it with lube and it works for about half a day. Its really embarrasing and annoying im almost at the point of taking it to mitsu
