a guy at crappy(canadien) tire re-did my timing belt. he gave back my car. and now i hear my serpentine squealing almost all the time.|||you must remove the serpentine belt to replace the timing belt.|||Yes, he has to touch it, to take it off to get to the timing belt, underneath everything else on the front of the engine.|||Yes you have to take of the Serpentine belt to get to a timing belt. the belt probably got some antifreeze or grease on it and that id why it is squealing. you can just spray some belt dressing on the belt to make it stop if it does not go away on its own. you may also want to check the belt for cracks it may be time for it to be changed as well.
and please do not spray wd40 on the belt this will only make the belt slip more. use belt dressing if you spray anything on it.|||the serpintine belt is ALWAYS removed before you can remove the timing belt.
WD40 especially on pulleys and see if that helps.
BTW crappy or not- the mechanic may not have done anything wrong- it just may need a new belt tensionor or an adjustment.|||yes the belt has to come off to get to the timing belt.|||Isn%26#039;t that the way it always seems to go? It may be over-tightened. I%26#039;d take it back and have them take another look...or go somewhere else and have them give it a second look. When I%26#039;ve replaced the timing belts, I have all the belts replaced that way you don%26#039;t have to worry about being left at the side of the road for the cost of a belt. It can be frustrating...good luck!|||yes he had to remove it and a lot of other parts just to get to the timing belt,so its possible he didn%26#039;t get it back on right or the tension isn%26#039;t right on it or the belt is just getting old,but yes he had to remove it to get to the timing belt,good luck.
