Fan Belt Squeel

[Cold Fusion]

my fan belt JUST started to squeel today (just freaking great, 2 people coming to look at the car to buy it as well) and i was wondering what the problem would be. is it just that i need a new belt? or is comething else wrong with it...

its funny how my cars perfect till i wanna sell it, then the alternator, battery, fan belt and other stuff starts going wrong wiht it..

thanks for ur help

sometimes the tensioner might be a bit loose.
try re tensioning it.

how do u re-tention it?

[destrukshn]

not quite sure, on that part. sorry.
just gonna have to wait for the people have did a timing belt on your car, to reply.

depends on which belt is squeeling,

your car doesnt have a fan belt

it could be
altenator belt
power strearing belt
aircon belt

WD 40 will work for a day or two,

to adjust the belts, you have to back off the bolts holding the power stearing the engine, then leaver up the power stearing pump and tighten the belt,
altenator is the same methid, air con will have a tentioner, you loosen the center bolt, then tighten the adjusting bolt a bit, then tighten the tentioner bolt again.

ECU-MAN,

HOw about a DIY?

[ECU-MAN]

I can only show you on a CRX, as I dont have a integra :)

ill see what I can do if I got some time later on

my alternarot got replaced yesterday...could it be that? and since the belt got moved and stuff, could the squeeling just be it wearing in or something?

[ECU-MAN]

yeah they may have not tightened it enough

[BeeH]

yeah happened to a mate of mine, WD 40 did the job

[destrukshn]

alternator shouldn't be too hard to adjust?
i know in my eg it is a bit tight, but not too bad, quite easy if it's the alternator belt.
should only take, my guessimation, 15 mins, considering you have the correct tools.
it's the timing belt i don't know.

i didnt have WD40 but i had break cleaner and i had scilicon spray...so i used them...i got all around as much as i could and i hope it works, im gonna message my mate now (who did it, hes an apprentise merchanic) and havea go at him

[Zilli]

even better than wd, some silicone spray, just spray some on ebfore the person who is inspecting it comes around and it wont squeak

[Cold Fusion]

i went to the merchanics today and i THINK they fixed it (it was free) so yeh, hopefully no more squeeking.
but GUESS WHAT yay i got an oil leak on my sump plug (coz its so screwed form scraping) so yay more money down the tube.
