Your serpantine belt screeches after you put a new belt tentioner and belt dressing on you cant figure out why?
Never use belt dressing on a serpentine belt. Clean the dressing off and recheck the pulleys.
How do you remove belt dressing?
There are a few things to try but the best solution is to never use belt dressing on anything but a v-belt and don't use it then unless it's an emergency. You can try spraying WD-40 on the belt in small increments instead but usually a noisy belt is a signal for a new belt or some adjustment to pulleys or tension. To remove belt dressing you can try some mild soap and warm water which might work if it hasn't adhered to the pulleys too much. If it has then you probably need to pull the belt and clean the pulleys with brake fluid, carb cleaner or something similar. Possibly steel wool will be required to get all the gunk off. Then put on a new belt, it's almost impossible to remove dressing from your belt and even if you could you'd likely be back to your original problem, a worn or noisy belt. The best solution is to NEVER use belt dressing. Back in the 70s you could use it on an alternator belt but cars and belts have changed a lot since then. I would never suggest using belt dressing on any car made in the last 30 years.

You just bought a 2002 Chevy Malibu and it has a squeaky fan belt how can you go about fixing it?
first try buying a small can of fan belt dressing and carefully put it on the SIDES of the belt (where it contacts the pulley). Also the belt may be streched - so you can try to tighten the belt by adjusting the takeup adjustor. Or finally replace the belt - if none of these work. Your car does not have a fan belt. Belt dressing is bad mmmmkay. Messy and will cause more problems (redneck temporary fix). Make sure your belt is tight or have someone check it for you. If it is a serpentine belt (tension is spring loaded) check the tensioner and check for bad pulley bearing. But in 2002, most fans are electric. which means no belt to squeal.

How do you replace the serpentine belt on a 2000 Volkswagen gls?
The best way to replace the serpentine belt is to remove it from the tensioners. You have to put pressure on the stress points to get the tensioners to release the belt. Once that happens you can replace the belt with a new one following the diagram in your owner's manual.
