    Squeaky Belts TiminG or drive belts?

    did my timin belt last week. also changed all the drive/fan belts i hear squeaky mainly in the morning. is it the timing belt or the drive belt? i have adjusted the drive belt serveral times but it seems lke its comin from the timing belt casing? is the squeaky belts from the timin belt or the drive belts?
    here is a video of how it sounds if its the timing belt, y would it sqeak? i did wat the bently's manual suggest about rotatin the crank with the adjuster bolt loose serveral times before tighting the bolt..

    I don't think it is the timming belt. That sound is the sound of a belt slipping and since a timming belt has teeth, it's not going to slip.

    If you can hear it coming from the timing cover, I would check your waterpump belt. The water pump is attched to the timing cover, so the sound might be traveling through the water pump and sound like it is coming from the timing cover.

    Check all the blets though. You want them tight enough to the point that if you pressed in on one, it should only move in about an inch.

      check your alternator bushings. they wear out and cause the alternator to sit sideways
