i have an 05 scion xa and i think there is something with either my drive belts or my timing belt i dont know wut to do I need help

 

whats your problem?

 

no timing belt we have a timing chain

 

the drive belts on a bunch of these get loose (squeak) they
just need tightening or sometimes replaced (warranty?)..
Power Enterprises sells carbon kevlar drive belts for our
cars that are not supposed to stretch or squeal. But yeah, its not a timing issue..

 

i just dont see why it started to squeak i only had my Xa for about two years and i just got 50 thousands miles on it ,well if its how do i tighten it up so it can stop squeaking

 

there should be an adjuster on the alternator braket.. that
way on the box anyway. If you look, you'll see its pretty
easy. I was at a show the other week, when we all left, I
counted 4 boxes with squeeking belts pulling out, no lie.
One guy said he replaced his once at 50k miles, for the
same reason. Says he tightened the old one a bunch of
times them replaced it. I have no expierence with this issue
myself, so I can only say what others have done.. good
luck!!

 

There is a TSB on this, a known issues that can easily be rectified at a Toyota Dealer.

 

might be why I havn't had the issue, I had an a/c
compressor issue right after I got it, they had to replace the
belts and they probably performed the SB then

 

ok I found out that the squeaking noise is my serpetine belt anybody know how to change it

 

ok I Found out it was my drivebelt that was giving problems and replaced it and it came off again I checked everything all my pulleys are aligned and so is everything else does anybody have a clue .and is it possible to change the belt into a chain is it possible?

 

thats not a wise idea cause you'll have to keep oiling the chain

 

but will it be possible to do, and what kind of chain does the Tc use is it compatible with the Xa in either way

 

There is no chain alternative to the drive belt. If you are having problems, I recommend taking it to a mechanic. Dealer or not, they will get it installed for you.

 

If there's a TSB for it, take it to your Scion dealer. I have my Scion dealer do everything and they're very fair about price and are speedy. I don't always trust the independent mechanics unless I know them.

 

well I have a mechanic to trust I was just wondering and trying to think of something better then a regular drive belt. and I had my belt flipped back over twice it was just a though well is anybody trying to sell some rims or something or some chep upgrades or easy to do yourself tips
