It only happens for a couple seconds when I first start the car. All belts are brand new. What causes this?

 

could be too tight or too loose. Usually too loose. tighten them up a bit and see if it stops. Also try some belt dressing.

 

your alternator belt is not tightned enough. Make sure you get the right size and have enough room to tight it more. Do not get something too small and squeeze it in cause that'll break the belt in couple months.

 

try wat they said...but if it doesnt work...check ur altanator it could be loose....tighten up the altanaotr...

 

If your lazy, spray it with belt dressing

 

if u di\ont have belt dressing, use baby powder, works like a chrame

 

now the opposite..what causes the drive belts to whine..mine (not sure which but think the power steering belt) whines at idle and with the engine when reved...i hear it more in the car then out the car though... to tight i assume? belt dressing doesnt do jack for them...thanks

 

does the "belt" whine when you turn your steering wheel? is it worse when you're parked and turn the wheel?

if so, it might not be your belt, it may be the power steering pump making noise...seals and bearings can wear out in the pump causing it to make that whining sound.....just like Ford's do, they whine like hell....

 

nope not at all...i get the pump whine now and then but is a different sound...

 

The alternator belt was loose. The noise is gone now. Thanks
