Loose water pump drive belt or serpentine belt? Loose serpentine belt is caused by bad tensioner.Lately, I have noticed some kind of chirping sound, when initially I touch the gas pedal. Does not happen every time, though.
Anybody experienced anything like this, or knows about a TSB?
Or maybe the serpentine belt?Yesterday, I have toyed with it, while I was driving home and the chirping sound comes on, around 1300RPM. If I hold it there, the chirping sound stays as long as I hold it there.
Maybe, a heat shield resonates?
I will look at the belts later on, to eliminate them. To me, it seems like it is a metallic sound.

Tensioners aren't covered under power train warrantyLook at the tensioner too..if it is leaking. If it is you could try asking for replacement under power train warranty.
Otherwise I came across this vid. Damn might be another useful trick for 303 protectant!! Protects interiors, seats, and now....belts LOL

http://www.daycoproducts.com/why-belt-dressing-is-not-a-solution-to-quiet-a-noisy-beltI use belt dressing to do much the same thing. back when I owned bad domestics. Well, I say bad, they were old and I was broke, so just a different thing I guess. I learned a lot.
I agree. Belt dressing definitely is not a right solution to quiet a noisy belt. Unless somehow the pulleys got misaligned, you simply need a new belt.

Tensioner could be crapping out. I've gone through 1.5 already.
