02' H6 3.0 startup squeeling


Recommended Posts

Hello

 

I'm trying to figure out why on start up of engine

there's a squeel that sounds like it coming from alternator

or ac pump perhaps, then goes away after a few minutes.

 

I tried dressing belt but have not had adjustment checked yet.

Vehicle has 42k miles, seems a little premature for bearing failure.

Just started recently with cool weather.

 

Appreciate any comments/ sugeestions

 

thanks

I would think that it is a slipping accessory drive belt. (Belt dressing is only somewhat effective.) Startup the car, go look at the alternator and A/C pulleys and see if either are "stalled"; if not, I would assume that belt needs to be retensioned or, perhaps, replaced.
