So what I did was took some of my Benz greese

and put a few small dabs on my belt and bam no more chirpping!! We will see how long it lasts but for now Im super happy!

UMMMMMMM I don't know where to start. @HunterGreene I need backup.

:popcorn::popcorn::popcorn:

No need for words... Just follow the link.. Understanding the crickets

EDIT: And for fucks sake.. if your belt is squeeking... that is NOT the fix. Tighten the damn thing.. jebus.

Hey, its me again!

Thank you!
I couldn't say any more before and be gentle about it.

AGGGGGHHHHH so many jokes I can't use!

thats the only squeak I have and ya THAT is a fix for it my belt tension is correct but it still squeaks over tighten and it wears more looser and its worse, and ya could have had a different tittle didnt know that was a real thing thats how we refer to belt noises around here sorry lol

/facepalm


You DO NOT lubricate serpentine belts! Period, end of story. No belt dressing, no nothing on them.

Mmmk.

ok if you say so :thumbup: always worked for a mercedes so im going to go with that, no I went to subaru and had them look at it (still under warr, and they retensioned it and it still squeaks) and guys im not some keyboard warrior im a tech and ill tell you from experiance that some things your told not to do work reallllllly well just sayin

From my google searching, it seems it's a bad idea... but it's your car and you can do whatever you want with it.

Usually briefly.

FWIHBT adding a bit of 2-stroke oil to your gas tank fixes dem crixes but don't quote me... please! Originally people were swapping out fuel pumps but that seemed to be a temporary fix.http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2014/...Media_UNLI.JPG

dont forget about the muffler bearings lol, you know there were/are liquid cooled healights I think vw and benz have done it damn germans ruining our jokes

Trollolollolol


1) There's nothing to retention as it's a spring tensioner (in other words you're clueless)


2) Belts don't squeak unless they slip. Adding grease makes them slip more. If you're serious and you're a tech, then I'm Abraham Lincoln...

Ahhhh but when they slip more the noise does go away. For a bit!

So much wrong with this thread...

Will this work on squeaky brakes too ?? http://john-perry.com/myicons/chuckle.gif

For sure. Will do wonders for you clutch as well.

Jebus, Mary and Joseph Batman, that is goddamn unreadable.

I sort of enjoyed "tittle". Made me snicker like a 12 year old.

THis is such a horrible idea...

The fact that you're a lousy technician isn't gonna save you bruh.

Wow... anyone got a flame suit for the chap?

People won't always agree with everyone or everything at any given time. His methodology may work or may not, who knows...

I love that Benz grease. I even used it to re-lube my muffler bearing and it fixed my exhaust crickets also. But while I was doing it, I noticed that I need my cross drilled brake lines replaced.

I havent had my coffee yet, so my reaction may not be as vigorous as you like. Still...

... and here I thought this thread was going to be a PSA to spay or neuter your crickets.

Need to stock up on some elbow grease before I tackle that project!
