Questions about squeeks under the hood

~C~ · January 8th, 2009, 02:06 PM

When a vehicle is squeeking from under the hood, or squeeling I should say, is this usually a bad belt or is the belt to tight?

too loose IMO

Typically too loose.....like your bungholio

Some symptoms and what I've found them to typically be over the many long years I have trod on this planet.

Squeaks at idle, gets noticeably louder upon acceleration and maintains level of volume increase with rpm increase....may change and go away or diminish as belt warms up and becomes as sticky as your asshole at a pickle party. Belt loose.

Squeaks at idle.....as rpm goes up....never goes away as it warms up....belt looks burnt..possibly idler pulley seizing up or going bad. Like your mom on prom night.

Squeak at idle or as you drive that is intermittent....not too loud...but completely goes away when the hood is open, and can never be duplicated with it open....your hood stoppers are too high or low and dry....sometimes the hood vibrating over the rubber can cause it too squeak....like the gerbil climbing in to your bum. Grease it. The stoppers, not the gerbil. He'll find his way eventually.

Also seen headers squeak when rubbing lightly against something, motor mounts squeaking just before they come apart, and I once had a birdy fly up from the hood when I opened it to see what was going on. Nothing to do here except gaze longingly at your bird is it gets higher and higher.

Then masturbate violently.

That was by far the best response I have ever received to any question I have ever asked in my 30+ years trodding on this planet.......reps.......of course if I have already spread it around enough........my meat of course, not the reps....

if my belt squeaks only when the engine is cold and its very humid outside does that mean that it could go soon? o and it stops when i rev a little
but since i have a honda revving a little doesnt mean going any faster lol

It probably means it's just loose, although that usually means that it needs replacing. With the tensioner system on these serpentine belts, they don't need adjusting as in the old days....unless your Honda is super old. If it's adjustable, adjust it.

If it's not, replace the belt. If the belt look burnt or cracked, replace it. Make sure you check both sides of the belt....with the engine off.

The reason it stop squealing when you rev it is because it heats up as it slips and thus becomes more sticky and stops slipping.
