Serpentine Belt in 2004 Camry LE gen 5

[theguysaid038]

Hi guys,

I have been reading the forum mostly, and recently my camry started "wheezing" when I start it up (recently..as in started a few months rarely..now pretty much everyday)

I am thinking its the serpentine belt, I have no cracks on it, but the car does have 57k miles.

like the title said, its 2004 camry le gen 5, I4.

inputs would be appreciated, and I have uploaded a video to give you an idea of the noise its making, thank you!

A worn glazed serpentine belt has a squeal.

A little water or belt dressing will quiet it down as a diagnostic tool.

Could be a bad serpentine belt tensioner....

Yup, that's probably the time to visit AutoZone and get a quiet belt and replace the existing one. It takes 15 minutes, but will resolve the issue.
