hey guys, just a quickie here.
I washed my car the other day and left it for about 5 hrs or so on the road. I came back to put it into the garage, and when i started the thing it made a horrible squeel. The squeel lasted about 2 seconds and made me jump. I put it away quickly for the night, but inthe morning it made the same noise again. I pupped the hood and it was definatly comming from around the alternator/other belt's area. I had a poke around, looking for anything out of place but couldnt see anything. I then gave her a drive around and went to start her up againa nd she was ok.
Over the past few days i have still noticed this small squeel (like rubber shoes rubbing on tiles when they are met). It only happens for less then a second now, just as the engine is turning over - like the starter cranks - no noise - then when it kicks i hear a small screech and then nothing. I have had no other problems with her. This problem hasnt effected anything else.
My question is, and i correct in thinkings its something to do with the belts? it sounds like somethign isnt lubricated properly? ANy ideas?
My car is a 94 Civic VTi.
thanks!
