Honda Civic Serpentine Belt Problem

No, this is not the sound the valves make.
Its the serpentine belt or the v-belt, which is slipping. Its wet outside and therefore is slipping more making a louder noise than normal.

to fix: tighten belt/get new one.

the remover of obstacles on your dash? :)

[mctwists108]

@d46512 Yes! glad you noticed! =D

[mctwists108]

yes - the problem is one of the many belts in the engine - the serpentine belt. take it to your mechanic, he will either replace it or tighten it.

Does this noise come and go? My car kinda makes a similar noise...always on start-up, and then it comes and goes as I drive. It's embarrasing, and I only drive now at night! lol....I need to get ti fixed, I know, but trying to wait a bit until I'm on vacation from work.

[mctwists108]

yes, it comes and goes. it becomes louder when it is humid or wet outside... for example when it rains.

It is eventually going to become really really really loud and even MORE embarrassing and you'll have to get it fixed. You'll see what i mean if you leave unfixed it long enough...

So how much does it cost to replace them? I'm having the same problem right now with mine.

[hellaeasyass]

Thats easy... it's a problem with the Woosh Woosh Woosh under the hood.

hey i tighten my wingnut before everydrive because it always comes loose. any fix to keep it tight?

@whizbot77

Because it appears to be a prominent problem with certain vehicles. Why are you here? I'm here because my 04 civic is screeching like a pterodactyl. I'm assuming that's the same reason 27000 other people viewed the video.

I know this video was posted three and half years ago. I was also having the same problem until recently. I replaced the serpentine belts but the tensioner was broken. I drive a 97 Maxima. The dealer asked me close to $500 for the tensioner, mind it Advance Auto, Auto Zone, Pep Boys don't carry this product. Any way I found that on Amazon for $70. I replaced the tensioner along with my Alternator (the alternator actually died). The sound is gone, when I turn on the A/C or in rain. :)

@awasey94 lol thanx for late reply. i actually got the belt dressing 2 years ago, never had a problem with this again.

[awasey94]

@neofantomu it works just spray the dressing on the belt for about five seconds straight then leave the engine running for a little. you do have apply it on once every two days for about a month of so.
