Squeeking At Front Of Engine

[DylanLaw]

Hi again guys. Since the cold weathers set in I've noticed a squeek sound from the front of my engine, sounds like a belt slipping a bit. I've found the replacement belt sets on eBay pretty cheap (AC, Power Steering & Alternator), I was just wondering if these can have the tension adjusted at all and/or how hard is it to change these belts myself? Thanks guys

I have a similar problem:

See - http://www.lexusownersclub.co.uk/forum/ind...mp;#entry702530

For details / possible solutions. Think I'll just ride it out and wait for the cold to pass..

So I'm not the only one then? Thanks for that, I'll give it a read

I have similar squeaking when idling. Am just gonna leave it for now! Its not a squeel though, like when the fanbelt gets worn.

Oh yeah its nothing too overly noisy, just doesn't sound right on such a decent car, plus I'm a perfectionist so it needles me that little bit more haha

i have that little sound coming when i start up in the morning for like less than a secound after than it is just fine.

i think it is realted to cold. when it is it get warmer it will be just fine.

I have the same thing. Its not loud at all really just not perfect like it used to be and it bothers me. I am gonna have a go at adjusting the belt to see if that works.

Hi Guys,

I have noticed this aswell since the cold weather set in, I think its the power steering belt as i tried to turn the wheel and it went louder when I turned the wheels so mayeb thats the one that neeeds tightend. Think il just leave it and mention it when its MOT'd in March
