The screeching is worse with acceleration and making turns. It only occurs for the first few minutes of the FIRST drive of the day - subsequent driving for the day does not have screeching - the noise only occurs when the car has been sitting around overnight or longer. Any thoughts? Thanks!

If it is loose and the squeel was it slipping you might consider a new one as it could have some damage, T nycgal New User May 10, 2007, 5:18 PM Post #3 of 4 (1934 views) Re: Car screeching at startup Sign In which belt? the fan belt? alternator belt? the power steering belt? thanks! Tom Greenleaf Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator May 10, 2007, 5:34 PM Post #4 of 4 (1932 views) Re: Car screeching at startup Sign In You would call it a fan belt but the car probably has electric fans. Most belts are serpentine and self adjusted by a spring loaded tensioner pulley. Again most cars use just one belt but I can't be sure of all cars out there. A quick look will tell and with engine off and cool, you can just feel that the belt isn't tight enough if so, T   Email This Post   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
