Annoying Belt Squeak!

My 350z always squeaks for a second on cold startup.. every time... so annoying.

 

It's done it since I degreased a small part of the right hand side of the engine near the oil filler. Belts were changed last year, could the tensioner need tightening?

 

 

Cheers

Hello Ben, 

 

I had the same issue. Changed both belts then about a year later started getting the same squeal on a cold start.

 

My understanding is that the new belts wear and stretch a little since its new. Tighten the tensioner up again and it will be sound :)

 

I did mine couple weeks ago and been perfect since.

 

Hope it helps.

 

Ibrahim.
