I recently changed my belts less then 2 thousand miles ago.... had no problems (car has 43k on it now) I changed them myself with a friend so I didn't have whatever tool it is to check tension or whatever but everything is fairly tight with little or no give at allwhen pulled/pushed on.

However when I drive around from stop to go I hear .5 second squeaks while I accelerate in a random patern. VERY high pitched squeaks like a belt I guess would make... only when I accelerate from a stop can I hear it, a few times while in 1st and almost ALWAYS when it shifts from 1st to second and then it putters off because I come to a cruising speed.

Today before work I tightened the p/s belt as much as I could because it seemed looser then the others... that didn't do anything.

Can anyone help me out? Is it definatly my belts or could this high pitched squeaking thats coming from the engine bay be something else.... any suggestions are welcome. Thanks

 

alternator belt needs to be tightend.....

 

Just wanna get more opinions on the topic...

 

Well I already tightened the p/s.... also checked the alternator and you CANNOT tighten it anymore, its at the far end all the way to the firewall with no more play to get more tension on it. So I loosened it a bit thinking its too tight and drove around..... did nothing. Then I tightened the a/c belt a bit cause it seemed a tad loose.... drove around and still nothing..

Any more ideas?
