02 Avalon - Noise from belt

[avalonxls02]

I have 2002 Avalon XLS. It has 66000miles on it.

I hear noise from the belt or generator every morning when I start the engine. However, after driving 15 minutes, the noise disappears. To me, the sound needs lubrication...kinda sqeaking sound when the belt is rotating. However, I can't find the source of the noise, but near generator. I maybe wrong.

When I took it to a dealer, the sound disappered. So I could not show/prove the problem. However, they said based on my description that the belt might need adjustment.

Could you kindly advise what the promblem is.

Thanks in advance!

Same car, same mileage, same problem, same diagnosis.

I agree with them.Most drive belt noise is normally cause by old belts or worn idler pully's.Definetly replace your belt first and see if the noise goes away.
