Posted by reeveso, May-29-04 05:43 AM
when i start the car up, and whenever i make turns, sometimes just a little turn..usually if im pullin into a parking space or somethin though when im turnin pretty hard, it makes this loud as shit squeaking noise...the problem is i dont know where the belts located because i dont have an owners manual lol...can anybody show me a pic or somethin like that so i can check to see if its loose or if i need a new belt?..thanks

alright nevermind about hte picture, i found the belt lol im just stupid....but when i turn my wheel all the way i found out that the belt completely stops, or moves really, really slow...does that mean i just need a lil belt dressing, or tighten/loosen the belt?...someone help me out here lol..

when in doubt, use the search, lol. you need to tighten the belt. im a bit confused as to why the belt slows down, but i assume its because you have so much slack its not gripping the crankshaft pully enough. its ALSO possible that you have a siezed pully on one of the accessories (a/c, p/s, or tensioner). tighten the belt first though... if that doesnt help then we can go deeper into the siezed pully theory. ;)
