Chirping Alternator Belt

Post by Ed »

Recently changed my alternator belt. The new one is making a chirping noise. Does that mean that I did it up to tight.

Cheers Ed

Sounds like it's not tight enough.

Not sure. If it was loose it would squeal and this is a different sound. Might have to try and adjust whilst the engine is running until no sound is heard from it.
