Default Help: Squeeling belt

I searched around but couldn't find anything usefull.

Whenever I start my 92 VX the belt squeels real loud for a couple seconds then stops. It also on occassion (but rarely) will do the same thing at stop lights until I give it a little bit of gas. I checked the tension on the belt it's definetly not too loose so what else could be problem here?

the belt is probably just too loose and it slips when you first start it.

Could be the bearing but that is more of a constant noise.

In time the grippy Rubber BELT gets hard and glazed and starts to slip
For a cheap fix, you can pull the belt and rough sand it but it'll start to squeek again within the next 1K miles or so<<< Can't UN HARDEN the belt.

Yeah, or you can just get a new belt...not too much money, but thats if the belt is old. Spray some wd-40 on the bearings and ****....like was stated previously, check all belts y0!

Rub a bar of soap on it. Fixed my E30 squealing belts
until it rained again.
