Car makes squealing noise in idle?
The noise you hear will most likely be the part that is called a throw out bearing it is part of the clutch system. is free turns while at all speeds. to narrow it down, does it go away when you push the clutch in? if so them that is what it will be. A belt will make that noise at all speeds or stop after it gets hot. So first check and make sure that the belt or belts are tight. The if you have a serpentine belt make sure the idler pulley is not making the noise then check the tension pulley is also good. you can do this by taking a can of WD-40 and spray the pulley it self, if the noise goes away the that pulley is bad, do them 1 at a time. then go ahead and spray a little on the belt and see if it goes away, because the belt could be bad. That all depends on how long it has been between belt change.
My car has a squealing noise when i'm at a complete stop.?
Serpentine belts usually don't make any noise, it's the pulleys that do the squealing... maybe idler/tensioner pulley and hopefully not from your timing belt. I've also seen alternator and water pump bearings go out and start squealing at idle. Just need to have someone look at it, try Autozone for some free diagnosis.
Short squeal noise when starting?
Starting a vehicle puts the greatest drain on a battery. Immediately afterwards, the alternator must try to charge it, which makes it harder to spin. If the belt is loose or worn, it will slip under the alternator's torque until the battery's voltage approaches 13 or 14 volts. That plus being cold makes older belts more slippery.
Why is my car making a clicking noise?
Heating and Air ConditioningA car's climate control systems include components that can can produce a clicking noise if they fail or require service. One of these components, the heater plenum, contains devices called blend doors that control the mix of cool air to warm air as the user switches the controls from one climate setting to another. These blend doors run on an electric actuator that can produce clicking noises when it fails. The air conditioner compressor may also make a soft clicking noise if its refrigerant supply has run low.Belts, Joints and SupportsMany of the support systems on a car can cause a clicking noise if they malfunction or wear out. Struts and shock absorbers include hydraulic dampening valves that will click or rattle if they lose their internal oil pressure. Worn CV (constant velocity) joints on the front axle can also make clicking or popping noises, Damaged CV joints make a pronounced clicking noise when accelerating or making sharp turns. Additionally, a loose serpentine belt can cause a clicking sound. Replacing the belt's tensioner can alleviate the problem.ElectricalLow voltage from the car's battery can lead to rapid clicking or ticking noises when the driver tries to start the car. As a battery ages it may lose its ability to deliver a consistent 12 volts of electricity to the starter. In this case, when the driver turns the ignition key, the starter turns itself on and off rapidly, resulting in a rapid succession of clicking sounds. The driver may have to replace either the battery or the alternator that supplies electrical charges to the battery.In short there are many reasons it could be doing that .Today's cars have complex systems with many components, many of which can cause a clicking, tapping or rattling noise when they start to fail. Drivers experiencing this unusual sound may have to let a mechanic examine the ignition, climate control, electrical, exhaust or other systems to track down the cause of the problem. Some clicking noises signal a simple replacement part, while others may warn of imminent engine failure.However I don't think anyone will be able to help you here without knowing a bit more information. Please tell us the vehicle in question . Make model year ? Also when does this clicking noise take place? Thank you and Good luck.
10PTS. can a loose squealing belt make your car idle rough?
yes ur belt can b worn or ur tensioner can b worn.....which can allow the belt to slip which in turn effects the water pump and the alternator......so electrical issues can cause rough idle......also water flow can cause car to go in and out of "limp mode" for overheating.... ** tho in all honesty it is probably something else...would suggest ur replace the belt and fix the tensioner...and go from there.....
Squeaking(bird chirping) noise with my car?
So I have a 2006 Suzuki Forenza and just recently it started making this squeaking noise(more like a bird chirping at a constant rate) while I'm driving and even while the car is idling in my parking space. I turned the ac off and everything. My mom checked it out and said it sounds like the fan belt. Has anyone else had this problem, if so, what do you think is wrong? Is it safe for me to drive it?
My car makes a loud screeching noise when I drive with the air conditioner on. Is it safe to drive if I keep it turned off?
It is always very difficult to make an in-depth failure diagnosis based on vague observations. But one possible reason for the screeching noise could be a worn out or too loosely tensioned transmission belt between your engine and the compressor of your A/C. As soon as the A/C is switched off, the belt runs smoothly, because it does not have to transmit much power. As soon as the A/C is switched on, it requires power, and the belt begins to slip - and makes noises.If the screeching sound stops as soon as you switch off the A/C, then there is probably no risk about damaging other parts of the car by just driving it.However, having the belt checked and - if necessary - replaced may be the better alternative. If the belt is okay, the problem mey be the compressor itself, which requires more money to fix it.As I do not know your car in particular, there may be another problem: Your A/C may require a lot of electric energy to run. This energy is generated from the alternator, this alternator is driven by a belt. Same problem. If this belt is worn out or not tensioned properly, then it screeches - you may know that sound from winter times, may cars utter loud screeching sounds.However: The alternator is not only required to deliver electricity for your A/C, it provides electricity for your whole car. If the belt for the alternator tears apart, your battery may be able to maintain normal operation for a while, but then you are stranded with a dead car.My suggestion: Have all your visible belts in the car engine checked and replaced if necessary. This is not too expensive and may save you lots of trouble. The timing belt of your engine (some cars have timing chains instead) is not visible. Nevertheless it requires replacement after some time (see users manual for more details). You should not exceed the suggested replacement interval too much, because a torn timing belt may destroy your engine in a second.
Why is my car making a loud ticking noise from the engine?
If it is a mechanical lifter camshaft, its probably just valvetrain clatter and the valves need adjustment. If its a hydraulic lifter cam, its probably valve train clatter, and you need to put oil in your engine as there isn't enough to keep the lifters pumped up. If its either type of cam shaft, with flat, non roller, lifters, you may have a camshaft that's going flat due to the lack of certain lubrication additives in today's motor oil. In which case you'd need to replace the cam and lifters and make sure to put an additive in with your oil at every oil change to prevent that from happening again. If its an overhead cam engine with a timing belt, its possible there's a bunch of slack in the timing belt, or the belt has jumped time, and the valves are hitting the pistons because the crank to valve timing is off. In which case you might need to have a leakdown test done to make sure you don't have bent valves or busted pistons. If you do then the cylinder heads need to come off and the valves replaced, or a whole rebuilt engine installed. If there isn't any internal damage, the timing belt still would need to be adjusted or replaced. Its possible it could be a bad connecting rod bearing, but that is usually more of a deeper knocking or thumping, and usually goes away after the car runs for a minute after startup, unless its really bad, then it should be a loud and obnoxious heavy knock. It could also just be a simple exhaust leak somewhere causing the clicking noise. But even that is not a complete list of everything that could cause a clicking noise. I have seen all kinds of things causing that type of noise, and without seeing and hearing your car first hand, there's no way to tell you exactly what it is. My suggestion to you would be to take it to a reputable repair facility and have it checked out. Almost all mechanical failures can be prevented with proper maintenance, and checking out unusual noises or behavior in a timely manner…
Car belt squeals but goes away after driving for a while?
Your Idler pulley's bearings are going out. Replace (depending on your vehicle) the belt, tensioner and idler pulley.... at a minimum. I would do a major fluid over hall. Break, power steering, axle and grease fittings.
