Default Squeakie Belt

I need some help.

Belts are squeaking when I start the car up and when I reverse out of garage and pull the steering wheel round too maneuver the steering can shudder. Apart from that everything running fine steering isn't a possible only noise which is a squeak I presume from belt???

Any ideas...

you have 3 squeakie belts??



you could check the tension of the belt, by twisting it. it should turn around so the flat side is facing you. and tighten up if needed.

to tighten up use a 10/12mm socket and undo the tensioner stopper, then adjust the tensioner bolt

if the belts are at the right tension check them for cracking best to replace.
