Re: Belt Problem
Belt for the heater and a/c?
Is this car a v-belt or serpentine setup? I'm guessing v-belts?
What all is driven by this belt? Is one of the things a bit tight? ie. remove belt, do they all spin easily?
Try removing the belt, and grabbing some 180g sandpaper, and roughing up the area where the belt sits in the v-belt groove. That will help it hold well.
But i'm guessing one of the accessories is starting to die (seize).

Re: Belt Problem
yea and also check to make sure all the bolts are in. on mine i forgot one of the alternator/ps pump bracket bolts so it was getting pulled causing the side of the belt to squeak on the side of the pully. so check that maybe
