Anyone had this problems. I know this is a wear and tear item. But my mileage is less than 20,000km for a 2 year old car. If i got back to TCM to try to claim warranty i think they are also going to tell me its wear and tear. But i dun believe an alternator belt only last that long. Its squeaky when the engine is cold and today after a car wash it was super loud! i think water got in the belt made it worst or something.
Drive bout a min or 2 sound went away. Have a feeling i have to change the belt and pulley together on my own. Anyone change their alternator belt before?
-
juz need to tighten the alternator belt n spray some wd 40 on it will do.
-
Dont think WD 40 is appropriate. A proper belting grease is preferred.

hey i think i got the same problem and was about to ask in the forum.
the squeaky sound issit like a bird sound that goes "chip chip chip"?
and yes the sound gets louder after a wash and after driving for a couple of minutes its gone.
for the record my mileage is around 25000km
-
so anyone else has the same proble as TS and me and went back to tan chong to rectify?

I have this chip chip when stepping onto the accelerator. At 1st tot is alternator pulley and belt but TCM renew the aircon compressor assembly for me instead during my 30000km svc. My ride was juz over 1yr old.

ya, got the same problem here. once they replace the belt the sound gone.
Also gotten back the old belt and saw a lot of crack on the belt. Was being told that the crack was the cause of the sound.
