seanv1982 Posted May 6, 2008 Posted May 6, 2008 i've prob put this on the wrong part of the forum, but has anybody had a problem with their alternator belt slipping when the car is cold. i've taken it back to nissan twice about it and they never fix it properly. it's ok for a couple of days but starts to screech again soon after. apparently it has a self adjuster and it should fix itself. it's gotta be the most embarassing noise. is it a big job to replace the self adjustor? my neighbours are realy getting annoyed with me in the mornings!

stuey Posted May 6, 2008 Posted May 6, 2008 just dust a little talc over the belt................ Quote
M13KYF Posted May 6, 2008 Posted May 6, 2008 no problems for me. May need to get a new belt as it could of got polished due to it slipping Quote
Fien Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 i'm getting the same problems when starting the car first thing in the morning, just sounds awful i like the talc idea for fixing it, cheap and easy! but is this gonna be a long term fix or do you think it's gonna need properly looking at.

ZMANALEX Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 There are no self adjusters on either of the Zed belts. Both belts do have to very tight and are easily adjusted from underneath the car once you remove the lower engine tray. Alex. Quote
IanS16 Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 If it is worn I'd get it replaced quickly. My air con belt snapped and 'whipped' a hose and cut it. And yeah.. it is a pretty embarrassing sound Quote
Mathys Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 Get either a new belt or get it adjusted properly. It shouldn't make the noise at all imo. Quote
