    Default Squeaking sound

    There is a squeaking sound coming from the left side of my B18B1 engine right near the pulleys. The only time it does it is when it is cold outside. After a full day of driving during the day, it would not squeak, but at night the squeaking goes on and off. Then there is also a sound as if something is loose by the same side. Can anyone help me.

    correct. tighten and possibly replace... how many miles you got on the car? and have you replaced/tightened the belts before?

    I have about 160,000 miles on it, and I have not changed any belts yet. Where would be a good place to take it that won't charge out the *ss?

    Do it yourself it isn't hard. replace the belts with decent quality ones, either dayco or OEM. its worth the extra 10 bucks for the next 100k.

    it definately would be a good idea to replace both belts, go the extra step though and when you have the belts off spin the pulley's and make sure nothing's binding up or a pulley's not bent. just out of the blue, have you ever changed your timing belt and water pump?? if not message me
