I have an ever so slight squeak coming from my engine bay. I am guessing its coming from the belt system, is it possible to grease/oil the system up?

does it squeak all the time? or is it just when you go to move off sorta thing?

Its like almost impossible to hear, i just hate noises :lol: basically to hear it, i have both windows down, radio and fans off.

It squeaks all the time, stationery and when moving but seems to disappear once the car has warmed up.

i know the feeling, and when you try to tell someone 'listen' they look at you like your alien :lol:

its possibly a tensioner or bearing then? probably impossible to diagnose without actually being there.

has it just started or has it been happening for a while?

Its just started over the last few days. If its any help i doubt anything has been replaced before i had the car and its done 63000 ish now. I opened the the bonnet and had a listen the other day and would say its def the belt area ..... :lol:

I am going to give the fan belt a spray with some WD40, see if that does the trick.

Dont spray that on the belt :o that will make it slip

if your going to put anything on the belt use talcum powder.

A thought that might be the case, but a so called mechanic said to "lager" it on ..... :lol:

is that a so called mechanic i might know by any chance?

Not this time :lol:

sounds like 'you know who's' kind of advice :lol:

wd40 will damage the belt, and more than likely cause it to slip. I suspect your problem lies with one of the bearings and not the belt.
