unusual engine noise
unusual engine noise
sometimes when im driving the car will make a squealing noise. took it to a shop, seems like nobody can figure it out. its not the timing belt its more like a cat wrestling a pig kind of noise. it seems as if it only makes the noise when im in high revvs or if im going at a steady pace and a hill comes up

Re: unusual engine noise
Quick version
With the help of the flashlight, inspect the belt and look for wear and tear. If the belt has a shiny or glossy appearance, it will have to be promptly replaced. Slide your fingers across the belt to identify any cracks, torn sections and missing rib sections.
Although a tension gauge is handy, you may use your fingers to check the tension. Press the belt down around the center of the span and make note of the deflection. If the belt can be pushed down more than half an inch, you will have to adjust the tension.
To adjust the tension of the drive belt, use the wrench to loosen the adjusting and mounting bolts. With the help of a steel bar, tighten the adjusting bolt as you hold the tension. You will have to check the tension once again, to make sure that the drive belt has been adjusted properly.
