Searched but did not find.

I took my wife's 05 Solara to the dealer for the pully recall recently and had the serpentine belts replaced while they had them off. Now there is a short belt squeak during cold start up only. I called the dealer and they said to bring it back which I plan to do asap. Anybody else have the same issue? Any imput and/or suggestions?

They just need to tighten the belt nothing major.

They may have oil or dirt on the pulleys, or the automatic tensioner may be bad. Take it back and see if they'll put in a new one.

Thanks for the replies fellas.......that's what I thought too. How hard is it to tighten the belt tensioner? I have the tools and mechanical smarts and would like to turn a bolt in the driveway and make this minor issue go away. Is it easy access?

Don't touch it let the dealer because if its the tensioner they can say well you worked on it and now it's broken when really its broken after they touched it. Take it back while it's fresh and let them know. Sooner the better.:thumbsup:

I need a new belt on 2 of my 3 Toyotas. While my original lasted even better than expected, I would not use another Toyota belt. The Goodyear GatorBack is the belt of choice, so much so I would rather replace it myself.

This belt is designed like no other, its quiet, it lasts, and its lifetime guarenteed, even against squeeling.
