Golf IV / Jetta IV :: Serpentine Belt Went Out


Sep 7, 2016

So the PO of my Jetta had the alternator replaced...awesome! One less job for me to do. My serpentine belt went out yesterday so I chalked it up to being old. When I got the new belt on it kept slipping off, I pulled the tensioner pulley off and saw that the wheel was all chewed up, I look down and saw that whoever put in the alternator didn't bother to screw in the bolt all the way and it chewed up the belt and everything else.

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: Serpentine Belt Squeal When First Start The Car Up

I have an 03 vr and my serpentine belt squeals when I first start the car up and after it warms up it will go away at idle but starts to squeal again when i accelerate. I can not seem to find what is causing this. After I start it and sprites a little water on it near the power steering pulley the squeal will disappear then come right back. I've tried new belt new tensioner and new power steering pulley. What else I could try or look for...

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: Noise Coming From Serpentine Belt For Awhile?

A noise has been coming from my Serp belt for awhile. My serpentine belt doesn't have any wear. At least It doesn't look like it. Will this noise go away by replacing it? or is it something else? Is it the tensioner? I've noticed when car warms up the noise goes away. I do not know the last time it was replaced.

Here is a video : [URL] .....

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: Noise Coming From Serpentine Belt Area

There has been a noise coming from the serpentine belt area for some times now, and I thought when I get to work on the belt I will get it fixed.

Last night, I replaced the alternator with a brand new one from idpart with a clutch pulley (the original pulley was plastic). I also replaced the tensioner and serpentine belt with this kit from ECS: [URL] .....

Everything was put back tight and nicely. Turned on the engine: the noise is still there.

For sure there is one pulley on its way out, but with one?

Noticeable @ 0:47

It's a 2.0 AVH Jetta.

Golf V R32 :: Squeaking Sound - Serpentine Belt?

So this car has only 50k miles. It was really cold in the sierra (around 20F) and the car started making a squeaking sound. I assumed it was just belt warming up, but when I opened the hood later, I saw shredded plastic. No CEL's! Seems to run smooth.

Where this came from? Is it part of the serpentine belt system?

Golf/GTI VI :: Chirp / Squeak Under Hood - Bad Serpentine Belt Tensioner?

So my mk6 developed what initially sounded initially like a bad serpentine belt tensioner. Only under anything more than load, and sounded like a bird chattering under the hood. Got outside today, fired car up, watched tensioner and it sat there steady as a rail. The noise is coming from the opposite side of the engine. Not really mechanical/metallic at all and tracks under load with the RPMs. Why i initially thought what i did. Not I'm sort of baffled.

Golf IV R32 :: Water Pump Seized, Shredded The Serpentine Belt

So, I somehow ended up with a hole in my oil pan. Long story short: water pump seized which shredded the serpentine belt. Had the car towed to the dealer. They found the hole in the oil pan. Pretty sure it wasn't there prior to the tow, and unfortunately I didn't watch the driver unload the car when we got there. Both tow company and dealer have just shrugged their shoulders on it.

I let the dealer replace the water pump because it's not something I was interested in tackling with everything that needs to be moved out of the way to get to it. However, I towed the car home myself (flatbed carrier from U-haul) to do the oil pan. I just got

Golf V R32 :: Low Grinding Noise Coming From Area Of Serpentine Belt

So, when I was leaving work I started my car up and heard what sounds like a low grinding noise coming from the area where the serpentine belt is. Let the car idle and it remained.

Put the car in gear and drove off and the sound was still there. the sound gets louder as I increase my speed. It went away a couple of times when I was braking, then came back.

I stopped at the gas station and could still hear it. After getting gas, fired the car back up and heard nothing. When I drove off, the sound returned.

I got home and put it in park, leaving the car on, opened the hood and could still hear the noise. Pressed and held the gas a few times and the sound did get louder.

I am pretty sure it is coming from some rotating part, but no clue what part. What this could be?

recap:
-get noise on startup
-while driving noise gets louder
-sometimes it stops when braking
-sound coming from area of serpentine belt

Ford Super Duty (1999-2016) :: 2006 - Serpentine Belt - How To Route The Belt Around Tensioner Pulley

2006 6.0l ... I've read all over for tips on routing this belt and everyone plays it off as being some simple '20-minute' task. I'm on my 4th hour on this now.

I can't figure out how to route the belt around the tensioner pulley, circled in the picture (from another thread). Everyone glosses over how to do this and I can't figure it out.

It seems like the only way to get it on is to bend the belt and slide it between the pulley and the block, but that I just can't reach the blasted thing.

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: Squeak Noise / Removed Driver Side Seat Belt But Now Belt Will Not Retract

So I was trying to track down this squeak noise and I removed the drivers side seat belt but now the belt will not retract? It's stuck like this, is there a manual release? Buying another one is not a option right now. And I have to drive the car tomorrow morning.

Prius (Gen 2) :: How Often Serpentine Belt Should Be Replaced

I am very concerned regarding how often my serpentine belt needs to be replaced. First time it was replaced at 104k, second time dealer replaced it at 126k, third time at 153k. Today I went for oil change (173k) and the dealer told me that it has little cracks and recommend replacing it. Is it normal? Could it be something else is affecting it?

Tiguan :: Serpentine Belt Came Off When Driving

I have had my Tiguan S for almost 2 years and it seems that I keep having to get it towed. I just had it to today because the serpentine belt came off when I was driving. After I bought it the fuel line was loose and it had to get put back on and after about 12000 miles my tranny went out and had to get replaced.

Camry :: Can't Get The Serpentine Belt Loose

I have troubles with what I thought would be a basic job: removing the belt on my 2004 Solara so that I can remove the alternator. I can't get the belt loose enough to slide it off, no matter how hard I try.

The wrench I'm using is about 12" long, I'm a big guy and I've done powerlifting in the past, meaning I can apply lots of strength on that wrench. I've just watched a youtube video of a guy with the same engine removing his belt, and he exerted a lot less effort for a lot more wrench travel. I thought that using a breaker bar is extreme.

I have a 2005 Prius with 86,000 miles. All of these issues started about 2 months ago, the day after an oil change.

Prius (Gen 2) :: 2005 - Serpentine Belt Broken?

Serpentine belt break? My 2005 Prius has 132,000 miles on the original belt, so I thought it's probably due for replacement. I went to an independent garage to get an estimate ($80). But the owner said that he has never heard of one actually breaking. He said that they are reinforced with fiberglass, so they just don't break. He recommended that I look for missing chunks and listen for squealing.

GTI 337/20th Anniversary :: Replacing Serpentine Belt?

I looked through the MKIV DIY stuff but didn't see one. My serp belt is in need of replacing soon. Seeing some cracking on it for sure. According to records from the PO it was bought as part of the timing belt kit at the end of '09 so I imagine it was changed then...just didn't think it would be so cracked so fast!

Anyway, looking to replace it in the coming weeks. If I could be pointed in the right direction that would be awesome. I do have a Bentley, but I find how-to's on here to often be better. But if I need to just follow the Bentley, I can do that too.

Sonata NF (2006-10) :: Squeaking Near Serpentine Belt

I've been hearing a slight squeaking near the belt area. It's not continuous. Does it for a second then stops for a second and continues.

I hear it a lot more when I put the heat on through the top window (defroster). Never noticed it until it started getting cold. You think it might just be the belt? Or what?
