i've replaced both belts... serp.. and the other one... probably last summer.. and they're now squeeeeeeellling again like black death... is there something that is wearing these belts down quickly? making them slip on startup? anything else to consider replacing other than belts in that area of the engine?

regards

 

I been going though the same probelm.. .except I replaced mine last fall and it squeels like a bastard... I just use belt dressing... get thats stuff... It will work and stop the squeel for a while...

 

tightening them is the only thing

 

I had this problem on an old chevy I once had. Turns out they needed to align the alternator. Weird problem, but it fixed my squeeling. Not saying nissan would be as careless as chevy, but just thought I'd throw that in.

 

A/C compressor clutch bearing is on its way out...Trust me.

 

tighten them up! ive had mine on my 96 for little over a year now and no squeal whatsoever

 

You just need to tighten your belt. Loosen the bolt on the idler pulley, tighten the tensioner (gold, hollow, long bolt-looking thing), retighten idler pulley. Done.
