Ok so when I turn my A/C on at idle, it will start to squeal. It will squeal faster and louder when I increase the RPMs. It was fine with my A/C off before, but now it's starting to squeal a little bit even with my A/C off. I already tried tightening my belt, but it didn't seem to help. If I turn my A/C on when I am cruising on the highway or anywhere above 3,000RPMs, It will be fine and quiet until my car drops to idle and then I will hear the squealing again. Thoughts? Questions? Comments?

If im not mistaken, the only place to tighten this belt is by turning the bolt on the alternator bracket.

Honestly, it really depends on which belt you are talking about. The harmonic balancer has TWO belts! The first belt is for the alternator and the pulley and back to the balancer. The second is to the A/C compressor to A tensioner and back to the balancer. And the THIRD belt would have to be your TIMING BELT to your timing belt tensioner to your water pump and back to your Cam Pulley. Look very closely to which belt is loose or just push down on them to see how loose they are. Like I said before, that is how it is on the ST. Not sure about the GT but it's still a Toyota. So look closely since most of the engines in our generation are made like that anyways. This post has been edited by FortuneCookie: Oct 20, 2007 - 2:51 AM |
