Have loud squeaking noises at cold starts before and after belt changes..
Hey guys, i have a problem 2 months ago my car started to make loud squeaking noises at start up when it got cold, when i turn on the car to warm it up, this annoying noise started coming from the belts on the left side, i thought it was the belts so i decided it's time to change them because apparently the first owner never changed them for 35k miles that's when i bought the car at the dealer and drove the car till 41k miles and this stupid loud noises stated to happen even after i changed the belt it's still going on like something is loose but it's not.
After i warm it up and drive it i still hear that stupid loud noise even after i hit the gas and then slow down the squeaking noise starts again on the street, but after i drive it on the highway for like 15 min it goes away and its fine. This stupid **** happens only when the car sits for like 5 Hrs or overnight turn it on next day and the the noise comes back again. So i have to ask did anyone ever have this problem? I'm thinking some of the stock pulley's are ****ed up. Thanks.

yep, too tight or too loose.
Mine only happens once or twice that I didn't bother adjusting it. Now that i think about it, it only happened when i had my A/C on at start-up. More likely, it's probably that belt with the A/C compressor and not the other one.
I was thinking a tension gauge would help, but with the way belts stretches. It'll only be a matter of days until the tension is off again. Looks like it's one of those ten million things where the G is so picky.

its in the esm under SDS (service and data specs) and any local tool dealer who sells kent moore products can get it for you IE: Snapon, Matco, etc... if i have time to day i'll pull them out of my tool box and get the part numbers off of them.
