2002 Mazda Protege 5. Had a lot of issues with belt squeak over the years ... not sure what to do / try next. Here's the history:
December 2012 (79,000 miles): Belts squeaking - had them tensioned / tightened - and belt dressing applied. All good / no squeaks.
March 2013 (81,000 miles): Did the timing / drive belt replacement (along with water pump, etc). Just FYI (no squeak when I took it in for this).
November 2014 (100,000 miles): Belts squeaking - had them tightened again. All good / no squeaks.
December 2014 (101,000 miles): Belts squeaking - mechanic removed all belts - and cleaned all of the pulleys / wheels they come in contact with. All good / no squeaks.
December 2015 (114,000 miles): Belts squeaking again - not sure what to do at this point?
I live in the Seattle area / car is kept outside. This problem always seems to come around when the weather gets cold / get a lot of rain (and more noticeable when fan kicks on).
Not sure if I should apply some belt dressing - or take to a mechanic to re-tighten everything once more?
