Cold weather - squeeky belt
Belt started squeaky perhaps due to cold weather (stops squeaking when engine is hot) here in Houston.
I applied belt dressing, and squeaking got worst!?! Empty3 2000 Vette |

Cold weather - squeeky belt
Sometimes they can get glazed, and no amount of dressing will work for long.
Plus the dressing will make a mess under the hood. And the pulley can become glazed with a glazed belt. If you decide to replace the belt, I'd hit the pulley with a green scotchbrite pad. errr... I just saw your sig.... 2000 Vette? It's a ribbed serpentine, right? Dunno about bad glazing with a ribbed serpentine, and you couldn't get down in the grooves very well with the scotchbrite. Sooooooo guess I didn't help at all, huh?!?

A new belt will cure it and the dressing is not even a stop gap anymore with the serpentine belts. When you replace it look at the bottom of the groves and you'll see the wear on the wire belt. -- Dad 05 C6 Silver/Red 6spd Z51 72 Shark Black/Black/4spd |

Since your wife won't let you play with the 'vette you have gotten
worse. Have your wife remove your access to the computer too. Thundergod wrote: > Are you so freaking stupid that you have to ask what the problem is with > your belt..Just go out and buy a new belt..stop wasting our time reading > all these posts. BUY A BELT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

BUY A BELT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and if the engine rattles, just buy a new one right? Stop taking up space and offer insights based on Vette ownership experience and/or troubleshooting such as Dad, Ric, Charlie, etc. Empty3 |
