Squeaky Sound (Again)

[Pete Shawn]

Hi everyone

Bet this annoy squeaky sound is :tsktsk: NEVER :tsktsk: let us alone or it's just me that i love my car and want everything to be perfect smooth ride.

the sound come and goes depends what the weather actually is :hocus-pokus: .

can't figure the exactly sound from and defo not the wheel bearing as the stand still engine running the sound is there. i'm no mechanic but suspect the steering wheel pump or the belt need (recent changed a year ago)

hope anyone can share their experience or any annoy sound that need to be aware off.

thanks :zee:

I noticed my belts squeeked when cold (not the cambelt) the 3 aux belts at the front if the engine. I just tightened them and the noise went away.

What does it sound like?
One of my old Lex had an annoying squeek I couldn't pin point was the clutch release bearing.

all 3 belt u mean?

was thinking the steering pump faulty

[petayV8]

No, not coming from the engine. The rear wheel. Pretty sure its the dust guard. Theres another thread about it....

For me it was my power steering belt. I tightened all 3 just to be sure. I also had the squeel from the back brakes. Lexus sorted that for me when it was in for a service

will give it a go this weekends (hope it's sunny day :hohoho: )

i did replace the rear disc plate... as i had a big pot hole bang recently and the base guard plate (small bracket) that saperate the hand brake line some how broke (rusty n corroded) and was sitting inside the rear disc plate making sound... all sorted now..good time

Are these difficult to tighten mate ? Mines started doing the same damp or cold

Try belt lubricant first after tightening them up

[Pete Shawn]

It wont cost much to replace the belt. As applying lubricant on the belt only a temporary fix n you'll end up with a big mess on the engine bay after a short trip.

[istanbul05]

Already used the belt lubricant spray , it works but as soon as the damp and cold weather comes back the squeaks return .. Anyone know what the garage costs are to replace the belt ?

[petayV8]

I got all 3 aux belts for £20. Prob 30 mins labour but might charge for a hour. I got it done with cambelt for no charge...

If your belts are squeaking try getting a bar of soap and rub it along the underside (not while the engine is running!) Crank the engine half a turn and repeat. Its worth a go if not its new belts.
