lee_cha_nin Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 (edited) Couple days ago I had both belts changed on my 2001 Pathfinder. I was there when he (mechanic) finished it, tested it, no squeaking. Next morning I started it and squeaking noise lasted for 5-10 seconds and then stopped. I noticed it happening now every time the engine is cold started. Are the belts too tightened? Nick Edited July 17, 2006 by lee_cha_nin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick I've had the same problem. The belts have loosened; they are still good but need to be retightened. It's really annoying and super-loud...mine would wake up the whole neighborhood.

Casey.T Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 Try a little belt dressing... if the squeal does not go away after that, they could be to tight or loose... I have always errored on the side of too loose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
