Stephen Grey 10 Posted March 11, 2011 hi, i have a squeel on startup only for a few seconds then this goes, is this the fan belt? if not what is it, how do you fix it and how much usually.... Thanks. :bonk: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Critical_Mass 10 Posted March 11, 2011 I would say so, either that or the alternator belt. The alternator belt can be adjusted, not sure about the fan belt. Though they will start to squeel again as the noise is due to wear. Prob best to replace. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
davidwort 0 Posted March 11, 2011 slipping belt, check the tension of them, how far can you deflect the belt with firm thumb pressure halfway between the pulleys? should only be about 5-10mm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
