Hey All -
My 99 has been squeaking a little at startup and while idling. After 10 min or so squeak went away. So I went out and got some stop squeak and gave it a few squirts and it went away bof about 2 min. Now it doesn't squeak at idle but it does squeell like crazy when accelerating. It's pretty embarassing :ugh.
Now I realized that belt dressing was the wrong thing to put on since it doesn't really work and is not supposed to go on serpentine belts.
I did a little more troubleshooting. I had my wife rev the car to the point of squeaking and I sprayed some water on the belt and the squeak did stop for a for seconds.
So I guess I need a new belt and maybe a tensioner. I'll start with the belt and see what happens.
That should be a pretty straight forward process, correct? Could anyone point me to a good set of instructions for replacing a serp. ac belt.
If you have other suggestions please let me know.
FYI 40K on this car.
Thanks
BTW - Here are inst for a C4. They should be similar to a C5 right. I gotta get a GM Book.
