My Car squeals when it's running and it gets more intense as im driving. any clue on what it may be? cost?

Question

Thank you.

Answer 1

Probably the accessory belt.  This is the belt that drives everything from water pump. power steering, alternator, to the  AC compressor.  It may also be the power steering pump if it is low on fluid.  If it gets worst when turning it may be the power steering.  With the engine off, check to see if the belt is worn by looking for cracks and or burn marks.  With it running listen for where the noise is coming from but keep clear of the moving parts.  Also try turning off the AC as the compressor may also be the problem.  It should not engage the compressor when off, only the clutch on the compressor will turn.  Good luck.

Answer 2

It's your serpentine belt either loose or badly worn .

Answer 3

belt or pulley... cheap to fix

Answer 4

Its your belts. Like tha first two said not much to fix very simple too.

Answer 5

It sounds like the fan belt could be slack or dry. If it is dry just smear a bit of washing up liquid on it to lubricate it. If it is slack it needs adjusting and this is relatively cheap. Good luck. h

Answer 6

fan belt,  

Answer 7

rub some bar soap on inside of fan belt.. if that fixes it you have a belt problem...see if belt is burned/cracked/loose... the guy at any auto parts store can look 4 you.
