GV 2000 model, V6 Auto Have a very noisy fan belt when start from cold. Have replaced both fan belts and made adjustment but this didn't make any difference. Any one have any suggestions? |

You sure it's tight enough? I know you stated that you made adjustment but I had same prob when I had by 2000 Auto GV and alto the belt seemed tight I nipped it up some more and it never happened again. |

What sort of noise? Squealing? Remove the belts one at a time and start the engine to determine which belt is making the noise - whilst you have the belts off spin the idler/tensioner pulleys by hand, replace any that don't rotate smoothly & silently. It's not unusual for belt squeal to occur after a cold start due to the added load on the alternator as it recharges the battery, this is typically caused by a loose or worn belt and if left long enough the pulley may develop a glaze which leads to further slipping, so if it is your alternator belt that is squealing, examine the pulleys for glazing. |

^^ this didn't work for me. I used this 
put a little bit on all the pulleys and you'll be laughing. With A/C off, I get a tiny squeal on cold start-up (~1sec) with A/C on and lights on, (~2secs) but then it goes away. My mechanic suggested this as my A/C pulley is a little off centre. Like others have suggested, the belts need to be f'n tight. T |

^^^ I know it works, but it just doesn't seem right to me to basically mask the fact that it's slipping by greasing it so it doesn't damage the belt/pulley while it slips. My old man suggested soap the other day, just rub a cake of soap on the pulley/belt a little bit. Same principle as the grease, nowhere near as proper a fix... |

He's on the money, they need to be TIGHT, a leaver may be needed, like a lok screw driver or the like's, but HAVE to be tight. Multi rib is not like the ole V belt's, multi need tension on em.. |

Well i had the same problem and had a read here through all the posts and thought the candle idea seemed like the best option.... So i fabricated my own "candle wax belt noise reducer 3000" (it doesn't get much dodgier than this) this thing worked an absolute treat...... yes it's a tea candle screwed to the end of a thin offcut of ply..... I wonder how long it will take the wife to realise one of her candles is gone..... Noise is completely gone ! |

I replaced mine. They squealed. I tightened them up more. they still squealed. So I tightened them right up and now they don't squeal. Shame 60% of the belt is shredded all over the engine bay already but hey, I know how tight it needs to be next time. |
