squaking noise when car is cold or when putting AC on

Yup welcome!!

[@manuelvillalpando6665]

I have been having the same problem for a long time now with a 2005 Toyota Sienna LE, and the squeeling noise is only on the start up and with the AC on the On mode. The squeeling noise only goes on for like 20 seconds and then it goes away, and the noise will not return as long as the vehicle is still warm. In the past, I've taken it to several name brand mechanic places and they have all failed to take care of this issue. What I am going to try and do myself is follow the steps that you give and tighten up that serpentine belt. As a matter of fact, I just checked the belt today and it is not as tight as you show on the video. So tomorrow, I will follow your steps and see if that corrects the issue that I am having with this squeeling noise. Thanks for sharing! UPDATE: It was exactly as you said in this video! I had to do the loosening up and retightening of the bolts twice, but I finally got that annoying screeching sound fixed! Thanks a million!!!

[@RBTheMechanic]

Nice job!

[@Phuq_it]

This has been my problem. When my belt starts squealing I’ll go look at the sides or back of my truck for oil spots. Most hoses are under pressure so a loose hose clamp will be loose. Under pressure power steering, oil cooler, transmission cooler line is leaking getting on the belt. Ill find that leak and fix it by tightening the clamp.. once my power steering pump cap was leaking.. I leave car off and spray a pulley that has ribs with armor all car detailer. It conditions the belt. Then I turn on the engine. You got to find out why the belt is slipping. If you find a leak anywhere around the accessories fix it. If you have no leaks still spray the pulley with ribs. If it stops then check your belt. Dayco belts are cheap and when new will squeal.

[@Emery098]

Helped fix my 2004 Highlander. Thanks a ton! Nearly took the whole damn thing apart to replace the belt.

[@RBTheMechanic]

Nice as long as u got it done!!! It got 2 belts but it’s same set up

[@leonreynolds77]

Here's what I did to fix mine. Take an old tooth brush with soapy water and carefully (be careful not to get hands too close) scrub the belt on the inside surface while it is running. That will improve the grip of the belt against the pulleys. Assuming the belt is tight of course and mine was tight. It may be wore some and need replacement eventually but cleaning the belt of oil and grease seemed to fix it for the time being.

[@trutheretic]

[@wg8005]

I had the same problem and massive power steering leak from high pressure line and pump, I'm at 160k, doesn't surprise me. The power steering belt was OG Toyota 1998 and it's 2023. Was cracked but still didn't break. Great car, never give up on them, they will roll forever.

[@gottahavegoalsset]

Not enough good field videos like this. I appreciate the class room mechanics but this short diagnoses and fixing is the best way.

[@RBTheMechanic]

Yup 👍

[@steakershocks]

I had this issue. That is improper belt tensioning. I had my alternator, serpentine belt, and battery changed out. This issue came up and when I blasted my AC it would also make that noise as well as cold starts. The belt is slipping and is not properly tensioned. You need to get this fixed ASAP as if you do not your alternator will break in 5-6 months like it did mine. Especially if you did not have this issue prior to a new belt its likely not tensioned properly have a mechanic redo this over and over on cold starts till the noise goes away. Also, side note my VVTI camp shaft its a part in the toyota engine broke as well likely due to this issue. So let this be a lesson learned for all of you that you need to get this fixed ASAP. The VVTI toyota parts and the things connected to the serpentine belt as well as anything that is connected to starting a car can break....and its not cheap...

Great video. I am having similar issue with my car (Screeching sound while starting my car in the morning. The sound stays for 3 to 4 seconds and then goes away and does not appear for the rest of the day (I do multiple start/stop in a day because of multiple activities such as school run, going to office & coming back, school pickup etc..). I did check this issue with the Halfords and they were unable to identify the problem. I've even recorded the sound coming from under the bonnet and played it back to the Halfords Service Centre. Unfortunately they were unable to identify the issue. The interesting fact is that I did a full service (cost me £230) with the Halfords on 8th March'23 and this issue started appearing after the servicing. I am not sure if this is a coincidence or they have messed it up during the servicing of my car.

[@RBTheMechanic]

It seems like belts need replacement

[@KreezeTV]

This has been driving me insane on my 2002 toyota solara. It is very embarrassing to get out of work and start my car and it squeals so loud. I have replaced both the alternator belt and power steering belt and it is still squealing! Is there some sort of specific torque it needs? I must not have it tight enough??

Hey I have a 1996 Tahoe 5.7L with A/C, single belt system. Belt is good and snug. I get a steady and loud squealing noise when the truck is idling AND the A/C or defrost is on. If I turn the A/C on with it running above 1,500 rpms it will not squeal unkess I let the RPMs fall back down to near-idle speed. But if I turn on A/C and then increase RPMs it keeps squealing. The compressor clutch will turn easily by hand when truck is off, but it's not loose. It turns but won't spin after I push it or anything like that. No oil or anything wet around the compressor. Blows cold air. Squeal stops immediately when knob turns vents off Defrost or A/C button is turned off. And returns immediately when activated again. I also noted my Battery Gauge drops from 14 volts to 11.5 volts when the truck A/C compressor clutch or belt squeals. Almost like the whole pulley system is being slowed by the A/C engaging. I'm going to ohm test the clutch to make sure it reads 2ohm or higher, but other than that, what can I try to verify what's bad? Should I spray a little light oil like WD40 on the front of the A/C clutch? One guy did that online and it stopped his squeal, but that was a different make vehicle.

[@RBTheMechanic]

Well when it squares spray sum windex of sound changes it will be ur diagnostic bad belt

[@thesetruths1404]

@RBTheMechanic I carefully put wd40 between clutch and compressor pulley, and also dressed the belt in 3 places with some armor all. Got quiet. Now it squeals a little for 1 or 2 seconds when I accelerate, and then stops. It didn't do that before. 😆

[@Espadazorz]

So in summary, the belt was making a noise because it was loose and thus slipping, so to tighten it up you just physically adjusted the alternator?

[@RBTheMechanic]

Yup this one was loose I would look at the best condition on any other car to see if belt is old cracked before doing this

[@Maniaaaz]

I have a similar problem it only happens in the morning, but after I heat the car up it’s fine. I’ve noticed it specifically happens when everything thing is on like ac,headlight, and whenever I try putting my windows down or up it makes the noise from that small amount of pressure added to the alternator. I got my belt changed and it seems to be tight, but the problem is still there. Could wd40 fix it? I know someone who had the same problem and wd40 worked for them

[@RBTheMechanic]

Mostlikely bad belt or lose this is the car on cold start up belt noise goes away once the belt heats up

Hello we have a Dodge ram 1500 2004, we put a new engine, new exhaust system, new ac compressor and ac system , new tention pulley,new serpentine belt. We had chirping but it went away when we put the new tention pulley. The next day the cooling system lines bursted, we got those fixed by a mechanic, we picked up the truck everything was good we turned the ac on and now the chirping is back. Could some of the residue from the cooling system lines have gotten on the serpentine belt? Or what else can we look into? Any advice would be great.

[@RBTheMechanic]

Not sure since it’s new belt how did u recharge the ac system and also possibility the belt is either loose wrong or bad never think new part r always good

[@Itswhatjamesdoes]

Why would the alternator cause the belt to slip because of "load"? The belt was loose that's all.

[@RBTheMechanic]

Usully over time the belt will stretch out so if it’s old old belt replace it and check the condition for cracks and yes once there ac load or alternator load that’s when it will slip

[@OhSnapItzCilla]

U should try to adjust the belt a bit before anything some times when I install a new belt it also need to be adjust after it run for a bit cuz it streches and loosens up a little

This is happening on my 2012 Dodge Charger guess some so called mechanics don’t know how to tighten a belt

[@RBTheMechanic]

No on the dodge u have self tightening tensioner either ur belt is stretched or tensioner is not strong enough

@@RBTheMechanic question what happens if the bell breaks does it like damage the engine completely or the AC does not work

[@FLYBOY-eh5th]

Go for broke man. Turn EVERYTING on.

I hear this same noise when I start my car and the AC or heater blower is on. I can turn off the blower and the noise goes away. I have also opened the hood, started the car and listened for the noise. It is coming from the passengers side. When I turned off the car, the chirping noise continued for several seconds. Any idea why? Thank you.
