It persists for about 5 minutes until my engine is warm or has been running for a while I guess. The car works fine, but the sound is extremely annoying. I assumed it was the belt, so I got some belt dressing and sprayed it thoroughly on it but it has not made a difference. Any advice? dave284 Enthusiast Mar 12, 2008, 8:41 PM Post #2 of 3 (2566 views) Re: Screeching Noise when car turns on Sign In I really don't like using belt dressing cause its only a temp fix,you need to look at the belts for signs of wear like cracks/raged edges, and v-belts shiny sides,also check the belt tension and look at it to see if its vibrating/or kinda flapping if all proves positive the noise could be a bad tensioner pulley/idler pulley/ or even a a/c clutch plate depending on year, make, model which would help btw DrElectrics Enthusiast Mar 18, 2008, 5:39 PM Post #3 of 3 (2550 views) Re: Screeching Noise when car turns on Sign In Screeching belts have always been explained to me as "loose belts".
