srobrien Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 auxiliary belts need tightened probably. R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris`I Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 auxiliary belts need tightened probably. R +1 check the condition of them and make sure they are tight. Even if they are tight, if there is any moisture around them, they can slip anyway. Tightening them will likely be the fix though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanyBeez Posted May 3, 2010 Author Share Posted May 3, 2010 thanks for the fast reply guys, Aux belt is situated wear and can i do it myself or will i have to get some one to do it?, it has been raining a bit lately so i reckon moisture could have a bit to do with it! thanks again chaps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srobrien Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Aux belts are between the radiator and the engine block, they are the things that look like belts If you dont know where to find them probably best to get someone else to tighten them R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roo Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Are they not self adjusting? Mine squeek when cold. Chap at the garage is going to have a look, he thinks it may be a cheap belt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
