    Thank you for your basic and easy to understand videos. I'd like to make one request; if possible could you incorporate into your videos the good sound vs. bad noise relative to the topics if applicable?
    That would be awesome & probably attract a much larger audience! Thanks!

  • @luislll5842
    @luislll5842 2 года назад +9

    Yup I found out the hard way it turned into spaghetti, now I only heard the squeaky sound once and it was for like 2 sec and I didn’t really think much of it till like 2 days later I see my RPMs go up, AC is pumping hot air and I can burly turn the car. The car is about 30 years old so idk if the belt was ever changed if it wasn’t well that was probably the problem. Thanks for the video it was very helpful also it’s a manual car so if u drive it bad like ur not that good at driving u still learning can that also be an issue or not????

    Can a chirping noise simply be a sign of doing too many short distances? My garagist told me this. He told me to just press the gas hard to rev up the engine on my diesel and I did notice the chirping sound going away.

    Ford 15 Fusion SE with 2.5 L engine. I was hoping nothing catastrophic happened if my serpentine belt breaks. So seems like the worst case is for the battery won’t charge or water pump is also not working. Overheating engine. Well it can be catastrophic if it overheats beyond control and your engine can be slagged. Total meltdown. Also several videos have the tensioner pulley also replaced because it’s common failure and they do it as preventive measure ?

    My car squeaks, but it seems to only squeak about the first minute the car is on. Recently, it is getting hard to steer, and the power steering fluid is full. Would the power steering be affected if the belt is going bad or only once it snaps?

    Bro the things you mentioned are not symptoms they are causes except for the first one. If my belt is torn cracked or snapped I can just look at it. What are symptoms of a loose belt? I’m trying to figure out why all of the electricity running through my truck is pulsating about 3 times a second and then dies. That could be a symptom of a bad belt or maybe it’s not but it would be nice to know.

    would a bad belt cause my car to make a squeaking/rubbing sound when doing a sharp turn or uturn? I’ve recently changed my powersteering pump, hoses, reservoir and power steering pulley but still makes this noise. It was making this noise before with the old pump. Car steers fine though. Not sure if it’s the serpentine belt, wheel bearing, cv axle or power steering rack.

    • @PeterMurrayj

      They had to take the serpentine belt off anyway in order to do that work. The best mechanics will mention easy to replace things like this. Well they are under the hood. It would have been 20 bucks 🤦‍♂️

    I had mine snapped out while driving, I was hoping to drive it home because I was just less than a mile from my house but didn’t make it. I stopped the car and had it towed. I drove about quarter of a mile before completely stopping. I first felt the steering wheel tight and heavy and saw the battery light on the dash, then I saw the gauge going all the way up to H like it was overheating. You think it damaged anything else cause I kept driving it? Im

    A mechanic at Jiffy Lube recommended the serpentine belt be replaced on 2017 Corolla because it had wear, a strip of discoloration, near the center of the belt. Is that a good reason to replace a serpentine belt? My vehicle has 93,000 miles and preparing for a 1200 mile trip. Many thanks

    • @easyautofix
      @easyautofix  Год назад

      It's a good idea to replace the serpentine belt on your 2017 Corolla given its mileage and visible wear, particularly before embarking on a long trip, to ensure reliability and prevent potential issues.

I have a 08 focus with 108k miles. Is this anything i should be worried about? Not sure what else it can be. Maybe you might have an idea.
