😂 I loved your honest response to what you found after looking under the hood and your assistance to keeping my neighbours happy... Don't have the glove surprise under my hood but will be happy to start the car up in the mornings without cringing and the 😫😫😫 sound again 🤣🤣 actually I think I could drive off laughing thinking of your video. Cheers for the help 🇦🇺
Thank u! This is a quick and easy to understand video. Being a woman and wants to fix my car on my own , this is a big help because i’m not about to pay $$ on bringing my car to the shop. Lol
I laugh so hard I’m crying and can’t breathe. It’s funny when I hear screaming cars my mom has a van that does it and it’s embarrassing lol everyone looks at you when you turn it on. My chest hurts now.
LOL...my father had a few of these(91-93) when I was a kid. The 4wd transmissions were HORRIBLE! The others were amazing. Thanks alot for taking the time to respond LOVE the humor you add to your videos make it all that more fun to watch!
It's true with the draw on the alternator, but also check the battery connections and condition along with the charging system condition, as that will add to the draw on a correctly tensioned belt and create the same result
I replaced the alternator belt on my 1995 Honda ACTY Mini truck and that's exactly the sound I get for the 1st 5 seconds with the new belt! Is gone there after with the engine running ! Looks like additional tension is required! Thanks for the video!
Brian, no matter how easy the fix or how little knowledge the owner might have, you always treat folks with respect and do not demean them. While I am practically a mechanical genius, I realize that other folks might have other talents that are not mechanical. I know there are lots of non-mechanical folks that have wondered what that screeching sound is on a car. Sometimes the belt is loose enough that we hear it at every stop light. Thank you for making respectful yet informative videos.
Wow you are great I was looking for that problem a long time ago go and the people used to say to me me in a garages this is your gearbox that was rubbish many thanks from you you sorted no problem good job
The other thing is that it wont charge the battery as it should (it will but not as good) if it screams when ever you take off from a light or stop sign that's when it will drain your battery or not charge it right , if it only does it sometimes like in the summer it could be your AC Compressor too? a quick and TEMPORARY fix ONLY for a few days is belt dressing works very well untill you have time to check it out the right way
I tried it but didn't work. I think the sound also depends on your battery, if the battery is weak/old it can lose so much charge that the starter has to work extra hard to supply the power
That's exactly the sound i hear😮a mechanic told me that the belt is dry and to buy a candle and put it on the alternator as it spins😅i was like umm a man😳
I hear that but also when I shut the vehicle off I can hear the sound like bearings going bad as something that was spinning slowly is coming to a stop. Sounds like dirty bearings on a skate board wheel after you soon it and it slows down. This happens once you have shut off the vehicle.
Just put a brand new belt in a Ford ranger 3.0. (auto tension) and it sqeauls constantly. Old one didnt squeal. I checked all the pulleys and they are fine. Whats the problem? Crappy quality belt? Cant figure it out. Keep up the good work Brian.
Thanks for pointing that out. In truth, ANY rotating member of the powertrain deprived of it's orderly function and lubrication will in fact scream when coerced onward against it's disinclination to do so. The alternator belt being loose is by far the most common cause however.
@@briansmobile1 Yes, I though mine sounded the same, but actually it's different now that I compare. Mine was making a sound like that at start, but not starting or cranking usually, sometimes could get it going. Found out it's likely a bad starter. Pump seems unrelated.
thanks, why didnt you fix it for us so we can see. mine doesnt make anywhere near this bad or long of sound, i think im just holding the key down to long on mine..
Having this problem too. Drove yesterday and my car kept having weird things happen such as stalling or losing complete power to the battery. Thinking the Mechanic that first thought my starter went screwed something up when it was initially just bad connection terminals.
@rtzapper Electric motors never fail.... lol. I once saw a restaurant that had one electric motor running a leather belt to a series of ten ceiling fans. It was pretty awesome.
@Dicofole Silicone causes slip in the short run. Belt dressing softens the material causing it to dry out with a vengence. I like to buy DAYCO belts. They are the best value in the long run. Mitsuboshi are also very good.
On my 2006 F350. The alternator doesn't kick in until about a minute after starting. So does that car not work the same? I was told that was to give the battery the chance to recover after starting the car, so that full demand is not placed on the alternator.
After 11 years of ownership on my mk4 Jetta I simply cleaned all the battery earth to car body and bell housing and no more lazy battery starts or starter motor squeals
@dergrossen No problem. I try to be sensitive to others, and it is obvious that you are returning the consideration. Thank you. Sometimes I forget that we are communicating with folks from other countries so I apologize for any confusion for which I was responsible. I have never been to the UK but I once owned a 1968 Triumph Spitfire. I loved that car, and it taught me how to work on cars. I hope to visit the UK sometime soon. Wrench=Spanner; Hood=Bonnett etc. Your lingo is very cool!
@reese373 Thank you. I guess I'm weird. I speak with clear thoughts, complete sentences, and proper grammar, which seems to be getting rarer all the time. How anyone thought I was being patronizing in my comment on Brian's video completely escapes me; but then I'm the weird one. I simply commented that Brian is respectful regardless how knowledgeable his audience is with mechanical things. Maybe being respectful is not vogue these as exemplified by the political left. I guess I like being weird.
Changed my belt and my alternator. Now what? My car screeches like that when starting, but not every time. When it does I can turn it off and back on and it will be fine. I can also put it in gear when it's screeching and it will stop until I put it in park.
I had a noise, not as loud as this and had the belt replaced by my mechanic yesterday. I went to start it today and the noise is still there, is that normal?
Normal is over rated, relative and degenerate now days... My approach to your noise is check the car to make sure the noise is identifiable and able to be heard and observed to be in the drive belt area. If visual and listening inspection verified a bad or loose belt, I'd replace the belt checking all pulleys for play or issue while the belts off. If not, I'd take off the belt & briefly run the engine. If noise is gone, I'd manually spin the pulleys by hand to see if the bearings on the driven accessories are smooth and have a slight drag to indicate they still have grease. Then, I'd inspect the belt for signs of heat, slipping or misalignment and address those. If the noise persisted with the belt removed and the engine running, I'd investigate a timing belt or engine bearing issue. The point is, you have to find what's squeaking and address it. This is a process, not a belt swap procedure.
@@briansmobile1 Yes and I need to do it quickly as I need it to leave the Country on Sunday so I am in a pickle. Will speak to my Mechanic Tuesday. Thanks for your help.
My car only does this when starting. After warming it, i can turn it off and turn it back on etc and it wont make thay sounf. Any suggestions? I can turn it on right now, itll squeal exactly like this. Id go to the gym, go to the store after etc and all that waiting outsife patked/turning on the car, it doesn't make that sound. Only ehen syarting at first.
Good tip. I had to do this to my car after it got a new belt on it from the dealership. I assume the new belt stretched some after it was installed. Also, I lol'd when I saw the vice grips on the battery terminal. What the heck was that there for?
This is EXACTLY what my car does...every time I start it AND every time I'm not driving at higher speeds. Alternator belt for sure? I was told it was a power steering gear by the local shop but I think they're full of it.
I replaced alternator and got a new battery! I also just put on the drive belt pulley and tensioner and changed transmission fluid and also my solenoid B and C and I literally just got this noise ?? What could it be
A month ago, I got alternator replace. Now I hear this noise when I start my car in the morning or later in day after driving and parking my car. It only makes this sound when it's first started.
Bro so my car makes this same sound but it doesn’t stop at all while it’s running. Any advice? I added a new belt tensioner and alternator and battery. My belt is still too loose maybe?
I feel my belt is too tight & does squeels at start up & does this exact noise when I Start moving at red lights at times... things I did, I change timing chain tensioner turn crankshaft pulley both ways & noise started, had belt changed by a mechanic & idk what to do now 😂💔
So mine does the same noise but not as loud and only in the beginning, Once it starts idling normal it makes a little clunky noise I was wondering if that's the same problem or a Polley bearing perhaps 🤔?
I am getting similar sound in my Fiat Linea.. someone in the Fiat forum mentioned that the sound is due to Starter Bendix/Pinion? Does this kind of sound comes when there is Bendix or Pinion issue ? Please let me know. Timing chain and alternator belt was replaced at 85000kms . Current odometer reading is 118000kms. Thanks.
BRO, I HAVE SPENT WAY TOO MUCH TIME TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THIS WAS!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!
Welcome Dustin!
Omg that sounds like ah freaking HORROR movie! Lol wasn’t expecting that type of sound wow.

Thank you! That's exactly the noise my car is making. Glad it's an easy fix.
ga damn that scream
I FINALLY FOUND THE VIDEO
IVE BEEN LOOKING VIDEO AFTER VIDEO FOR THIS SAME NOISE AND I DONT KNOW WHAT IT IS

Dude that sound like demon under car hood. Lol
When I worked on cars for a living, my policy was this: If I find tools under your hood that the last tech left behind, they become my tools.
Just give them to the car owner unless they give them to u

The noise should not have been that funny🤣🤣
...and thats how you get more popular in your neighborhood....
lol
ill have to try that
The battery terminal ring was split. The vice-grips were holding it together.

Wow you are great I was looking for that problem a long time ago go and the people used to say to me me in a garages this is your gearbox that was rubbish many thanks from you you sorted no problem good job
@WasabiMeal YES! Too tight will kill the bearings on the alternator. GOOD QUESTION!
The other thing is that it wont charge the battery as it should (it will but not as good) if it screams when ever you take off from a light or stop sign that's when it will drain your battery or not charge it right , if it only does it sometimes like in the summer it could be your AC Compressor too? a quick and TEMPORARY fix ONLY for a few days is belt dressing works very well untill you have time to check it out the right way

Thank you that's the same sound my husband's car is making after getting an oil change from the Honda place.
I hear that but also when I shut the vehicle off I can hear the sound like bearings going bad as something that was spinning slowly is coming to a stop. Sounds like dirty bearings on a skate board wheel after you soon it and it slows down. This happens once you have shut off the vehicle.
Gonna try this out tomorrow for my sisters car

@HaroRider03088 Alignment, tension, wrap, material friction, and fit are the big five factors.

Demand on Alternator Belt.Slip.Tighten belt bolt on top.
I think this can be a sign of other problems... I had this happen days after getting a low coolant alarm, which is likely due to a bad coolant pump.

Made me think of the 2012 Camry hybrid I just test drove last weekend. No belts on the engine. Electric water pump. Technology.
Totally thought he was trolling at first lol , I was like no way his car made that scream
Exactly the sound on my car when ever I start the engine

thanks alot, but i don't get it, why is there dislikes on this vid? when its totally legit.
some trolls will dislike anything... and its only 3 dislikes
if you can smell something burning when u get home is it same
Is it bad if there is a screech?

I installed a new alternator and now the belt squeals for 1 second at first startup of the day. The rest of the day quiet. Any ideas?

Way to go!
if you have many belts and cant tell witch one is slipping just touch the pullys if ones really hot thats the one thats slipping
Thanks a million!!!
I think the glove covered vice grips on the battery terminal are an added feature on the Ford Rangers LOL!!

nice video brian i got a question for you on a 97 jeep wrangler that it didnt come with a ac system its possible to put one in there
Good one with the pliers and the handy glove :-)
