Sqeeky belts :/
Posted: Wed Aug 24, 2011 4:30 pm
So during my big turbo install i had an issue with misfiring which i tested to see if bubbles in the coolant lines were causing the ecu to freak out.
Obviously i had to bleed the neck to try and get the bubbles out which resulted in alot of coolant getting on the belts/pully assembly.
Recently ive noticed that only during cold starts do i hear the belts chirping probably 45seconds to a minute after the intial startup and then it goes away. UNTIL, i give the car and throttle response. Driving home i thought the crickets were just really loud until i came to a stop light and the sound was gone (this was after an hour drive home thinking it would go away
).
I have checked my belts and none of them seem to be frailed or cracked, so could it be the belt tensioner? I just dont know what would be failing when the sound only comes on during throttle response.
Thanks in advanced for any help.
