OMG this belt noise
ok so i had a very funny month on 1/4 my belt started to squeak then the next day the brand new A.I.R pump i put on seized up so i just took it off and kicked it to the curb and got a 910k6 belt then the squeaking noise came back and on 1/9 and my alternator seized up 100 dollar for a new one
now the noise is back and i have a rebuilt A'C and the stock power steering and year old water pump
the noise is loud and i replace the belt 3 times and the noise stops for like an hour then is back there belt tensioner is like 2 21/2 years old and i can't find where the noise is coming form i repress the P/S pulley re-torqued the water pump and check the A/C bearings I'm so lost and the sound is so bad like a cat is stuck in my motor lol

Re: OMG this belt noise
hate to say it but, it may be in your motor. I spun bearing can sound like a squeaky belt. how's your oil pressure?
take the belt off and start the car up for a minute. if the noise is still there, its a bearing. if not, GOOD! just have to keep looking.

And, also,

:edit: Another thing you could do is remove the A/C compressor from the engine and buy a shorter belt, bypassing the compressor to see if the bearings inside the pulley are bad. Your part numbers should be an 815K6 without A/C and 915K6 with A/C.

Re: OMG this belt noise
Well, if that's the case, sounds like your water pump MAY have a month to live. That's the same thing my engine did when the 3.1 was dropped in and the guy who installed it forgot to replace the pump. (You're supposed to replace the water pump on a junkyard engine because you can't possibly know how long the pump has sat without coolant lubricating the bearings and seals). I got the car back in August, the pump died in September...

Re: OMG this belt noise
