Anybody know how to get rid of the squeeling noise on my engine? I changed my belt and it is still there....i think it might be on of the bearings that the belt goes around but im not sure....i think this is a problem with some maxima, cause a friend of mine is got a 1999 I30 and he's got the same problem...anyways if anybody can help please let me know

 

It is nearly impossible to determine the cause of squeaking with your description.

Does the problem happen only when you are driving?

Does it happen with the A/C on/off?

Did you tighten your belts to the correct tension when you replaced them?

 

The noise is deffinetly coming from the belt mechanism....u can hear it when ur idling and when ur driving at slow speeds....but i goes away once the car speeds up....and yes the belts are tightened!!!

 

no one else has this problem?

 

they squeal if theyre too tight, or too loose, from what i hear you should adjust the belt a month after because it gets a little more slack so you retighten, see if that helps you, if it doenst, loosen it and see if the it still squeals

 

ok take tensioner out and verify that is running smooth if not replace it also check alternator when its bad tends to make whining noise

 

I have the same problem with mine. But i always ignored. Now that i think about it i think its just too loose.

 

I just changed my belt about a week ago and i think the noise is going away....but i think ur right it looks like its going away...i turned my car on today and i didn't hear it too bad today...thnx for the help...and i think if it does keep making noise it probably just needs adjusting
