Guys I had a little time yesterday and changed my (2) belts timing belts etc. and I was wondering why they scrrretch when its cold but not warm is there something I missed lube would appreciate the help..

 

mine used to make that sound too. i took it to the mechanic and he tightened the belt for me. never heard the sound again

 

huh so maybe I should tighten it more I made sure to really tighten them though but thanks.

 

It is probably the power steering one, the reason for this is because when you first put it on and turn on the car, the heat expands the belt so it would be loose again... all you have to do is tighten the power steering one again and you should be good.

 

alright I'll try that thanks loki05

 

i thought we had timing chains...not belt?

 

I relatively sure he's referring to the "Drive Belts" Turk, you know the black belts that run the power steering/alternator and air conditioner?

Did you use belts from Nissan? If not, they will probably squeak. The only belts we use besides OEM is Gates.

There needs to be a sticky saying that you (in general) have a luxury vehicle that requires proper parts and service and not 90 Chevy p/u where any cheap part can be used.

 

Exactly sorry for not specifying

No, I did get them from Riverside Infiniti. Funny thing is the belts are actually made in Indonesia lol I guess Stealerships are also trying to go the cheaper route to make more dollar off of their parts

 

Out of curiosity though I was also wondering if you guys recommend any type of differential oil because the stealership doesn't want to sell it to me they say they only sell in bulk..wtf so im thinking of just buying some other brand diff. oil any recommendations??

 

Amsoil Severe Gear 75-90 is really good in our cars. Hit up SwivelHips if you need some, he's a dealer. You'll need 2 qts. and will use 1.5.

 

^ Cool thank you for the info. very helpful

 

tighten those belts!!!!! Problem solved.

 

Could also be TOO tight. Should be about 1/4" of play in the belt and thats by pressing relatively hard. Should be pretty tight, just not too tight!

 

Its crazy I actually started the car up yesterday in the cold again and it didn't make any noises soo idk what's going on now ha maybe it just needed time to break in.
