I put a new timing, alternator, power steering, and a/c belt on this weekend....once in while, when i start the car, a load squeal comes from the engine bay for about a second then goes away. The car runs great, but this squeel is freaking me out. I'm thinking one of the v-belts might be loose or too tight. I'm thinking about using some belt dressing on new belts!? My car is on the other side of town so i'm not able to do anything at this moment. Would anybody have any input??

chance is to tight. i don't think the dressing would do anything for a long term fix.

or too loose, mine squelches when i first start up my car and there is about a good inch to an inch and a half of play in the alternator belt!

Yeah i have the same problem. I tightened it up and now it sorta comes back every so often. Thinking about replacing the belt.
