Does anybody have loud sounding belts? Mine seem very noise but am sure there not slipping. If I put water on them while its running the noise goes away do you think that they could be to tight.

 

I had this every so often on my old UK classic mate. A squirt of wD40 round the pulleys used to help. Dunno if it's to do with tightness, but I used to to it every couple of months. Usually worse in summer though if I remember correctly.

 

also a bit of talcom powder on the belts should stop your squeak, how old are the belts??? has any fluid been spilt on to them??

 

Really? Learn something new everyday

 

honestly it does work, just don't lean too close to the belts when your doing it.........

 

Replaced alternator belt couple of months ago dunno about other. I will spray my pulleys and talk my belts.
Cheers.
Chocolate.. Got the wax out today Couldnt wait for the machine polish, does a mint job so will be ordering somemore. Thanks.

 

Wd40 sort mine out....its my alternator belt that squeaks....tightened it...loosened it....just reckon its dry or something....wd40 works so I just use that!

 

Aye, squirt of WD then dust talc over it. If that doesn't work, check tension. If ok, new belt.
