(Home) Fanbelt

I have recently had a new fan belt fitted, but have had to go back to the fitter twice because it screeches when cold. Is this a common problem and if so what can be done about it? - (#148) ian powell, 18 May 01

Have all the belts been replaced or just one? Sqeaking from cold is normally an indication of a worn belt. Try giving the pulleys a sand with some fine wet-and-dry, or get a can of "belt dressing" from the motor factors.
