Belt Squealing, replace serpentine & tensioner?

**jbrown7815** · 08-02-2008 01:59 PM

When i start my car I get a weird screach/squeal from the front.

My guess along with others is that it's the serpentine belt going, or maybe the tensioner. Is this hard to replace? Anyone else have the same thing?

Thanks

Is serpentine same thing as timing belt???

If the front belt is the same thing as timing belt, it has already been done. [by first owner]

So what gives?!?

I would check that serpentine belt and the a/c belt too. If the timing belt was done, I don't know why the accesory belts weren't changed. I would double check to make sure that timing belt really got changed

Serpentine and timing are different belts.. but like akaEsCo01 said, if the timing belt was done that should of been done with the tensioner and water pump

I'm having this same exact problem, however the timing belt and serpentine belts were changed 2 months ago.
