Belt Squeaks!

Post by TrickMX-3 »

When I start my car my drive belt begins squeaking really loud and after it stops the belt makes a weird rubbing noise. What can i do to fix this should i buy a new belt or get some kind of lubricant or something let me know i dont want to make things worse.

make sure you pulleys are not wobbling. Mainly the water pump pulley(just don't over torque or the bolts 'll break!!!!)

and ditto on the gates belts, or mazda dealership belts
