Hi all,

Just trying to get an idea of what this noise is coming from my engine.

-Engine starts to squeek 1 or 2 minutes after i start up my car.

-Only happens when my car has been sitting over night or a long period of time

-after I drive it for about 20 minutes the the noise goes away....

-and the car starts and runs fine at 84k miles

-can only be heard at idle

Any ideas? Any input would be appreciated before I take my car into the dealership.

Thanks,

Joon

 

bad serpentine belt?

 

yea that was my quess as well. Just thought it may be something else.

 

Prob either that or the tensioner. Just open the hood when its making the sound should be easy to tell if its coming from the belt. Once the belt heats up it prob grips better and stops slipping.

 

yea i pretty much figured it's the belt. Have you gotten your belt replaced yet Preston? If so, how much did it run u? Thanks for the quick reply.

 

no I only have 50k on my car. The belts are pretty cheap at pepboys or wherever.
