Is anyone else having a problem when the engine is cold with a belt sqeaking? Every morning without fail one of my belts sqeaks. I cannot figure out which one it is and the dealer is unable to duplicate the sound. When I talked to the dealer they said that moisture may be getting in there on cold nights because the car is parked outside. However I have never ever had a car do that and have never heard of such a problem. To be entirely honest I feel they fed me a load of bullsh*t. Anyone?

 

do you leave your csr there overnight outside that way it is possible to make the same noise or drive it over and turn it off then on? If not may want to try that. Also is it just an initial squeak or is it something that squeaks for a minute or two once started?

 

I'm not able to take it over to the dealer and leave it because they refuse to give me a loaner car because it is "sitting and not being worked on."

But anyways the sqeak usually lasts until the cold engine light goes off at least so usually 2-3 mins. depending on how the weather is. It never did it in the summer unless it got colder then 60 which isn't common for this area.

 

same thing happened to me for awhile. turns out the drive belt tensioner went bad somehow. had to get it replaced under warranty.
