New Serptine Belt Squealing - Toyota Yaris Forums

aaron21339 · 10-12-2016, 01:34 PM

Hi all, I recently purchased a 09 5door with 96,000 miles on it. I had the serpentine belt changed about two weeks ago. The next day it started squealing when I started the car, and when I first start driving for a minute. I've tried turning off the air conditioning like i read about but it didn't help any (the battery is a year old).
I took it back to the mechanic a week ago. He said he looked at it, there was no problem with anything, it's just new and it might take a month to stop squealing.
It hasn't been a month but the belt is still just as bad sounding, what would you guys suggest doing?
Thank you!
