Btw, does anyone else's brakes squeel *really* bad the first couple times you use them when it's real cold out?

Meeeee. The new belt doesn't squeek at all when I'm sitting there. But once I turn the wheel about 1 1/2 - 2 times it fuckin screams like a banshee. So I just sit there and rev a 2k to warm things up.

So oil on the belts is a bad thing? Cause It doesn't squeel at all now

When Jake was putting his new engine in someone said "I hope you made sure not to get anything on the belts." And jake said "no, I'm always really careful about that."

Tell me how it goes, Cause my squeeling was terrible. I would be driving it for an hour and the squeeling would start when I stopped at a light. That Oil did the trick

I still don't understand how you know how much to tighten it. To check the tension you need a tension gauge. And I think those are pretty expensive.

i don't think you should put oil on the belts...even belt dressing isn't good for it

I thought we had gone through this shit once before...STFU about this garbage, your only making yourself look like a retard.

As for the question, Sphyder's list was right on, as usual.

I used to tighten till I couldn't turn it anymore. Now that the bolt shitted on me, I just used a buddy and a crowbar.

***Here's the latest update***...

The squeeling came back!!!

Here's a new thing im noticing now.. Since I got my new waterpump installed, it doesn't leak anymore. However, if im in 2nd gear, if im not holding the shift, it will slip out of 2nd gear into N.

You think this has something to do with the machanic when he installed the waterpump or is it the oil i put on the belts to stop the squeeling???

uhhh thats really weird... lol i would just check all the nuts and bolts to make sure they're tight... i cant think of anything else if you got a new water pump... how old is your altenator?

i don't think your shifter slipping out of 2nd gear has anything to do with your waterpump...that sounds like a tranny or clutch problem.

2006 ECLIPSE GT · #28 01-05-2006, 01:56 PM

do u know what belt is squeeling, the ps or alt?

one of the ways u can tell if its the ps belt...turn on your car, have someone turn the wheel and look at the ps belt to if its skips. if so, it needs more tension and be sure every bolt is tight as shit...oh, and check the ps fluid.

I never did try the oil thing. But the squeeking persisted as normally. But then today I heard it squeeking around the 5k rpm - 6.5k rpm range. That pissd me off and I said fuck it, so the belts off and its back to that good ol non-power assisted steering. Its cold here so I won't need the A/C anyways.

Not sure if it's been changed or it's the same alt that came with the car. Im planning on changing that also.

2006 ECLIPSE GT - I believe it's the power steering belt, when i turn the wheel, it squeels..

Now i know the waterpump has nothing to do with shifter slipping out of 2nd gear, however, im wondering if the machinic messed something up in the process cause this never happened before. Now all of the sudden it's doing it
