it will temporarily make it not squeek but can make it slip
its loose or a component on the belt is freezing up and causing niose get a bar of bath soap and while the car is running rub the soap on the belt -both ides--- watch your fingers!!
It's a possibility that your car may not start correctly.
Most likely alternator. Rub a bar of soap on the accessory belt(s), if the noise goes away, you need a new belt.
That would be the pulley belt. Take a bar of any hard soap and carefully rub some on the underneath of the belt (the part that faces down) then start the car back up, it should stop the chirping. Have a mechanic check the belt condition ASAP.
Wash the air breather out with a bar of soap.
What do you mean by body soap? Soap that is in bar form, or soap that in a bottle like body wash? Bar soap could pick up sand and grit that might scratch the finish. Body wash is a mild abrasive but I have never heard of anybody using it for washing a car but I assume that a slight clouding of the clear coat is possible. If you have access to dish soap (detergent) it is the best improvised automotive soap.
Bar soap can damage car paint because it often contains additives and chemicals that can strip away protective wax coatings and lead to dullness or scratches. Additionally, bar soap may leave residues that attract dirt or grime, further harming the finish. It's best to use products specifically designed for automotive care to ensure the paint remains intact and protected. Regular washing with appropriate car soap is recommended for maintaining the vehicle's appearance.
The best way is to take the belt into a DIY car wash bay. Select the 'soap' option and use high pressure to clean off the residue from the belt, then use low pressure rinse to completely remove the soap. Allow to dry before re-installing.
the belt is really hard get a breaker bar, look at the pulley label on the car and find the tensioner its going to be labeled with a pulle with extra belt room. use your breaker bar and pull towards you to slip the belt off
The same thing that happens when you cut the Jugular, its like the main nerve in a car!
when your inside a car, and you dont have your seat belt on, your like a missle
If it's noise coming from your fan belt, than try this cause BELIEVE me it works!! Doesn't matter if you are a woman either.. cause I am...:-} Turn your car off - make sure it's cooled down Get a standard bar of washing soap (eg. Dove, Irish Spring... doesn't matter) Locate the fan belt Firmly rub soap along the under-side of the fan belt...just a little on one area will do since it will spread when turned on Try driving your car now... did it work? You may have to get the belt checked, but this will take the squeal away for a bit anyway, and it won't hurt the car! If it worked, gimme a trust point! Thanks
