Re: Slight squeek when my car starts
Try the WD-40 method...when it stops squeaking, even for a little while, you've found the problem. Usually you can hear where the squeaking is coming from...front or rear of the engine...try to locate its general area this way. Then start shooting the pulleys in that area.
One note I'll add is for the A/C pulley. Does the noise happen when the A/C is off? Only on? For this accessory, first turn the A/C off, listen for the squeak, then squirt the WD-40 onto the face of the pulley, ideally between the outer part that does rotate and the inner part that isn't. That is the A/C clutch. If no difference or not squealing when off, turn the A/C on and listen for it. Then try to squirt the WD-40 between the pulley and the compressor body...it may take more than one shot to get in there. If it stops, then your compressor shaft bearing is going bad. Good luck!
