Cold Start Squeal

Every morning it squeals for about the first fifteen minutes then stops

I'm thinking belts or belt tensioner
I sprayed some belt dressing on it, stops it for a few seconds and changes the pitch of squeal

Is their a way to tension the belts?

Anyone have any experience with this, DIY or not

its a 98 with 154 KM

You either need new belts or you need adjust the tension.

Check your belts, if they are in good shape, they're probably loose and need to be tightened, use the belt tensioner adjuster, but don't overtighten .. if your belts look bad then it's time for them to be replaced

also pls. stop using belt dressing on your belts, this will cause your belts to fall off sooner or later

Thanks for the replys

I'll inspect the belts tonight

Anybody have a diagram or link for adjusting the tensioner?
