Who wants to play?!

Anyway, a few days ago I started hearing a squeaking noise. It appears to be coming from the passenger side of the engine. I think it's a belt but I'm not sure. What do you all think?

I'm not real sure what happened to the audio, but you can hear it good starting at 0:13

Are you kidding me?

Sounds like you need a wind screen on the microphone and tell your neighbor to turn off his blower.

Seriously. Loose belt?

One way to tell real easy.. Turn your wheel all the way to the right.. Look at ur belts and kinda twist them to see the inner part that goes to pulleys if it looks like a bunch of little cuts all over then time to change u can tell real easy that they are worn out.. As for the noise open the hood for us and let us see n hear inside

**Nismo4Life07** · 04-30-2012, 04:18 AM

That or maybe the AC compressor.

I don't think so. Just get those belts replaced. Then go from there.

MaxiM1923 · 04-30-2012, 12:08 PM

I agree with all do them first which is cheapest first always start with what could be the easiest n least xpensive first

**Apollos2** · 04-30-2012, 12:21 PM

Totally belt replacement time. (possible worn pulley) but most likely belts If you have the funds, I got my Underdrive pulley on there at the same time.

**officerfrasher** · 07-16-2012, 05:48 PM

Got the belts replaced, no more sound.
