99 accord: noisy belts

[jundeleon]

the belts on my 99 accord produce noise particularly when the aircon is turned on.

I just had its crankshaft pulley replaced, alternator bearing replaced, and aircon compressor overhauled.

When i spray wd40 or pour water on the belts, the noise disappears.

The belts are still fine.

What could it be?

sir baka sa tingin niyo ok pa belts pero if it produces noise na... malamang busted na yan... try to change the belts just to make sure na hindi loose or somwthing.

Check the belt if too loose, adjust belt tensioner if necessary, donot over tighten at least 1/2 inch play when pressing down the belt w/ your finger in the middle between pulley.

mechanics at speedyfix said the belts are still ok and tightened to specs.

anyway will replace the belts maski ok pa and see what happens.

Had the same experience with my VTi but was quickly resolved by replacing the belts themselves even though they all looked ok from the outside.

Upon closer inspection, the belts actually had tiny cracks on the inner side. No wonder we couldn't spot the problem.

Hi all,

Dito na lang ako post kasi related din yung topic.
I just got a 2nd hand adventure model 99, pinabaguhan ko lahat ng belts ng makuha ko. just recently medyo maingay yung belt, sabi ng mechanic adjust lang ng belt tensioner. hinigpitan lang namin tapos nawala. pero minsan bumabalik yung ingay. bago naman ang belt ko kaya i think di pa naman sa belt ang problem. lumuluwag ba talaga yung tensioner pag bago ang belt?

I used to have squeeking noise sa belt ng lynx ko, i had it tightened, nawala ng mga 2 weeks, then bumalik. when i brought it sa mechanic, sabi sa akin, na ung replacement belt is not as good as the original belt, kasi kulang ang oil ng replacement. so he advised me to buy a non-slip spray, to spray sa belt. nawala ung noise after spraying. hope this helps

the old school way is to rub a candle on to the fan belts. don't really know how effective it is though
