[@starlenenava6660]

Thank you for your basic and easy to understand videos. I'd like to make one request; if possible could you incorporate into your videos the good sound vs. bad noise relative to the topics if applicable? That would be awesome & probably attract a much larger audience! Thanks!

[@mylesfulton100]

Yes man include examples

[@The_Wizard_Owlin_Celestial]

My belt snapped right as I was pulling into my apartment perfect timing

[@tyjamison]

Same with my Son’s 09 Malibu

[@sf49ersjshark2]

Wow changed it after i seen the rip thank you Jesus.

[@luislll5842]

Yup I found out the hard way it turned into spaghetti, now I only heard the squeaky sound once and it was for like 2 sec and I didn’t really think much of it till like 2 days later I see my RPMs go up, AC is pumping hot air and I can burly turn the car. The car is about 30 years old so idk if the belt was ever changed if it wasn’t well that was probably the problem. Thanks for the video it was very helpful also it’s a manual car so if u drive it bad like ur not that good at driving u still learning can that also be an issue or not????

[@frankmontez6853]

Ford 15 Fusion SE with 2.5 L engine. I was hoping nothing catastrophic happened if my serpentine belt breaks. So seems like the worst case is for the battery won’t charge or water pump is also not working. Overheating engine. Well it can be catastrophic if it overheats beyond control and your engine can be slagged. Total meltdown. Also several videos have the tensioner pulley also replaced because it’s common failure and they do it as preventive measure ?

[@Jonathan-pr1wo]

would a bad belt cause my car to make a squeaking/rubbing sound when doing a sharp turn or uturn? I’ve recently changed my powersteering pump, hoses, reservoir and power steering pulley but still makes this noise. It was making this noise before with the old pump. Car steers fine though. Not sure if it’s the serpentine belt, wheel bearing, cv axle or power steering rack.

[@ShikyoGryfyn]

My car makes a slight whine from the alternator and the pumps, so like, what could it be? 08 accord 2.4l

[@mkoozman]

Bro the things you mentioned are not symptoms they are causes except for the first one. If my belt is torn cracked or snapped I can just look at it. What are symptoms of a loose belt? I’m trying to figure out why all of the electricity running through my truck is pulsating about 3 times a second and then dies. That could be a symptom of a bad belt or maybe it’s not but it would be nice to know.

[@kafka0015]

Hey there. I'm looking for some advice. What would your impression be if, say, you're stopped on a hill, and as you move off on first gear, you hear a humming-ish sound? My car does that mostly on uphill starts.

[@pineapple0310]

What about if it makes noise when doing the water test? All 3 belts are new

[@cameronereaux6872]

Can a worn drive belt cause an engine to vibrate?

[@helenarichard]

Can a chirping noise simply be a sign of doing too many short distances? My garagist told me this. He told me to just press the gas hard to rev up the engine on my diesel and I did notice the chirping sound going away.

[@Shaman196]

Garagist?? You mean mechanic, right?

[@noahhuraan5353]

Mine only squeaks on startup near the alternator

[@jmuscara68]

I just got mine replaced on my Honda CRV. It only had 30,000 miles on it. It was "glazing" on the outer surface.

[@Jessicascleaningtips]

Glazing? I just put a brand new one on my C300 and it's tripping. Water takes the sound away 😬

[@junmagbag5169]

I had mine snapped out while driving, I was hoping to drive it home because I was just less than a mile from my house but didn’t make it. I stopped the car and had it towed. I drove about quarter of a mile before completely stopping. I first felt the steering wheel tight and heavy and saw the battery light on the dash, then I saw the gauge going all the way up to H like it was overheating. You think it damaged anything else cause I kept driving it? Im

[@jessicafrost9992]

This literally just happened to me about 30 mins ago. And I freaked out. So I just parked the car and had it towed. I hope and pray I didn’t damage anything.

[@emmore436]

What was the problem when you got it diagnosed?

[@junmagbag5169]

@@emmore436 just a very old and weary belt that needs to be replaced.

[@emmore436]

@@junmagbag5169 found out it was my belt and thermostat. Fortunately I paid only 250 for the repairs. The first mechanic tried to say I needed a radiator replacement because of an alleged small leak, so I took it to the last two and it was minor belt and thermostat

[@micahwest2793]

@@junmagbag5169 yeah you gotta be careful about over heating. I had my radiator spring a leak and my temperature gauge went all the way up and I only drove like half a mile and it warped the heads in my truck cost a lot of money to fix.

[@janitplanet]

My car squeaks, but it seems to only squeak about the first minute the car is on. Recently, it is getting hard to steer, and the power steering fluid is full. Would the power steering be affected if the belt is going bad or only once it snaps?

[@Crosby69]

It is affected when its going bad, your lights, ac, radio and other electricals could struggle to work.

[@petersolymosi7882]

A mechanic at Jiffy Lube recommended the serpentine belt be replaced on 2017 Corolla because it had wear, a strip of discoloration, near the center of the belt. Is that a good reason to replace a serpentine belt? My vehicle has 93,000 miles and preparing for a 1200 mile trip. Many thanks

[@easyautofix]

It's a good idea to replace the serpentine belt on your 2017 Corolla given its mileage and visible wear, particularly before embarking on a long trip, to ensure reliability and prevent potential issues.

[@kevooohmygawd9578]

Hey question for you, i got new spark plugs, coils, motor mounts and transmission mounts and my car still kinda vibrates in the steering wheel and the brake pedal. I have a 08 focus with 108k miles. Is this anything i should be worried about? Not sure what else it can be. Maybe you might have an idea.

[@easyautofix]

Is there an engine light on? Does this vibration occur at a specific speed or when stationary?

[@kevooohmygawd9578]

@@easyautofix no check engine and in idle i feel it

[@Clean-N-ShineInDfw]

That's similar to what my vehicle is doing

[@titusmo6476]

This might be late response but its your wheels.. get them 4 balanced and align.

[@precisiont5188]

Maybe its defective VVT solenoids or stretched timing chain.

[@atlasbenedict3313]

cracks on belts aren’t a reliable way of telling belt wear anymore due to the material they’re made of. the sure fire way to check condition is using the tool.

[@therealfronzilla]

Would it always squeak if there is a problem?

[@easyautofix]

A serpentine belt may not always squeak if it's in bad condition, but squeaking is a common symptom of a belt that needs attention.

[@Digitalhunny]

What sorta _noise_ does it make??
