I just had a belt replaced and its squeaking like crazy now. Whats causing this and how can i fix it? i was think they might have gotten oil on the belt or the tension might not be right

 

more info???????

 

if you got it done at a shop just take it back and ask whats up.... they should fix it for free
dont pay for their fuak ups if they did

 

if you have a haynes guide, to check the tension it says to find a belt span of about 11 inches from pulley center to pulley center and lay a flat object across the top of the pulleys, the belt should only flex about 1/4 of an inch. the belt change wasn't really that hard of a job anyway so just take it off and check it. when i changed mine, i got a BF goodrich belt and i ended up with a cool supercharger type whirring noise. i put the same kind of belt on my moms minivan and got the same sound effect. it was kind of funny

 

It is the tensioner.

 

i think it was the belt that has the power steering and alternator on it, i really hate that it does that, i started my car to leave school and it sqeeled like crazy infront of everyone ill take it to the shop i had to replaced at 2moro

 

Power steering has it's own belt. It only goes from the crank to the pulley on the (power steering) pump. The other belt (acc) is AC/ALT/crank.

I doubt it needs to be replaced, just tightened.

 

you should check the tightness.
