I have a 2003 Maxima I replaced the alternator belt about 3 months ago and my squeaky belt issue went away. The belt had a lot of cracks and looked wore. Just recently theres a squeaky sound again, only when I give the car gas though.. At idle the car is fine, no squeaks. Any ideas on what this could be? I wanna get this done by the weekend, its a little annoying. haha

Thanks

 

I would retension the belts again. I think the rule is that you shouldnt have more than a 1/2" of play in the belt. But they are rubber so its possible that they have stretched a little and just need to be readjusted.

 

We readjusted the belt yesterday, it still did the same thing. Im gonna put it on the lift at work but can it possibly one on the bearings in the idler wore out?

 

Odds are it wasn't tight enough. Once they start slipping they get glazed and need to be replaced.

 

problem went away randomly just as it came...but the belts fine I checked it...everythings good

 

Sometimes you get stuff like that.

 

spray belt dressing on the belts. it will take care of the glazing and condition the belts. that should stop the problem
