That Chirp, Squeak, or Squeal? Your Car is Talking to You.
Ever noticed a new, strange noise coming from under the hood of your car? That subtle chirp, persistent squeak, or high-pitched squeal that wasn't there yesterday? It's easy to dismiss it as "just an old car noise," but often, your vehicle is trying to tell you something important. And when it comes to those particular sounds, the message is usually about your serpentine belt.
Ignoring these auditory cues might seem harmless in the short term, but letting them go can quickly turn a minor adjustment or a simple replacement into an unexpected breakdown that leaves you stranded on the side of a busy road.
Regardless of the specific cause, ignoring that noise is playing a risky game. If your serpentine belt were to break – and a loose or worn belt, or a faulty tensioner, makes this much more likely. Suddenly, your alternator stops charging the battery , your power steering goes out, your A/C cuts out, and potentially, your engine starts overheating because the water pump isn't circulating coolant.
