Weird squealing sound.
Weird squealing sound.
So my car was parked at work and it was time to go home. I start it up and pull outta my parking spot. As I'm leaving I hear a loud squealing sound. What is that? Keep in mind I have an 04 and like high mileage.
Check your belts, might be squealing. Mine did the same, i just applied wd40 and it went away, if it gets any worse later, you might have to replace. Idk what the smell could be from.
Belts require they be replaced every few years, they stretch/crack and will eventually break and leave you stranded. That's exactly what you're hearing/smelling, go to Nissan and buy the OE replacement belts they're way better than aftermarket....

Less than $40 for both belts, even at the dealer. Takes about 30 minutes to change them out yourself.

Gary C is absolutely right. Check your belts, they are made out of rubber, they get brittle and start to crack. Also check the pulleys to see if they are loose, this can also cause a squel. Good luck!!!
I had a shop install my pulleys because its a PITA. The fan assembly should be the only thing you have to remove.
