Squeaky Noise From Engine Belt Area In Toyota Camry 2013 by Bonjovi13: 7:10pm On Feb 21, 2022
Hi
There is a squeaking noise from the serpentine belt area in my Camry 2013.
Drives smoothly without AC. Grinding noise starts as soon as I put on the AC and also on idle.

I have replaced the Tensioner adjuster pulley. Although it shakes slightly.
If I change the belt,the noise disappears for a day or two. Then comes back.

I bought an original belt. Noise still on.
Pls help. I am suspecting the AC compressor pulley. I know it has a bearing.
Is that the same as idle pulley?
There is also the crank shaft pulley.
Which is the culprit.
Find attached a sound bite of the noise

So nairaland is pretty much redundant. 30 views not even a comment.
Mod push to front page. I need help

Right? Yet nairaland is a forum/online community.
I am a long time user and have taken time to give to this Community. This is not the nairaland I used to know.

Apparently it's now populated by persons interested only in romance and relationship issues. Lol. which is okay.

I know better now. I am off to Quora. Thanks viewers and my sole commentator.

Thanks Gazzuzz for your kind response.
It turned out to be the adjuster. I bought a brand new one and got an original engine Belt and the noise ceased.

Turned out that the Belgium adjuster I got was shitty.
Car drives silently now.

Tensioner a AKA adjusters are usually not an issue in most cars. When you have a belt that is stretched out of spec, techs usually lean towards a bad tensioner.

I hope you got it right

I think my mechanic fixed the wrong kind of tensioner. The one he bought had metal even on the pulley. The one we now got had a rubber kind of pulley. I immediately noticed that the tension ok the belt was quite strong, I wasn't surprised when there was no noise anymore. I had also bought and fixed a belt that was stronger and more expensive than the normal belts.
Thankfully this fix is permanent.

Apparently It is a common issue with Camry 2012 to 14. I have referred four of my colleagues with the same issue to my mechanic to have that particular tensioner changed. The noise stopped in all cases

Get a new one. Those Belgium ones may not work well for long. You ll still hear the noise.Also make sure the serpentine belt you have is original.

. Changing tensioner pulley and belt is very easy. No need for a specialist mechanic. Cheers
