Question About Belts

[Taso84]

I got all my belts replaced about 2 months ago and recently i've noticed that there is a fairly loud screeching noise when i drive the car at night (like the sound of a slipping belt). It only happens when the headlights are on tho, I thought that the 3 belts are for pwr steering, aircon and alternator. Plz correct me if im wrong.

What do u guys reckon the noise is from, im completely stumped?!?

Hey,

Yeah your right their are 3 belts:

A/C

P/S

ALTERNATER

Ususally with belts if they are over adjusted (too tight) or loose the tend to slip or squeal...

Squealing occurs when the belts too tight or the belt is cracked or dry... if the belt is dry use a little bit or rubber grease on the belts or some silicon lube just to moisturise the belt...

If it too loose it will slip so there for adjustment is required, usually about 10kn of force should be applied to the longest part of the belt to see if it is adjusted properly....

let me know how you go
