belt squeaking

[perelaar]

I noticed the car developed a few squeaks under the bonnet - less than 2 months after replacing all the belts.

Especially the power steering pump belt squeaks, when on full lock, and the airco belt.

Could it be the various pulleys, and if so, are they serviceable parts? Or better to try and replace belts again first?

Do the belts need nipping up as I was always told they stretch when new and will need a adjusting up after a short time. Also temperatures make a difference too

Good point, completely did not think of that. I'll check tonight.

Indeed, belts were more loose than they should. Tightened, we'll see tomorrow.
