FTO AUSTRALIA

When i start my car up there is a squeeking noise coming from the front and the ac is off. So i assumed it was my timing belt and went and bought some sticking spray meant for belts now i can hear it going round and it's really annoying and sounds like something is wrong with my car :/ what do i do and did i do anything wrong? When i turned my wheel it sometimes still makes the squeeling sound that sounds like a belt slipping a little. My timing belt is only a few months old!

Try tightening your alternator and power steering belts?
Make check what condition they are in?

your alternator and power steering belts still running no matter your a/c is on or off.

Time to change your alternator & ps belts before it slips off in the middle of highway.

The power steering / air con belt part number is 6PK1080
The alternator belt part number is 4PK940

hang on, i heard you could tighten it or apply some belt sticking oil.

You can try those if your belts are as new and not worn.
When is the last time you have it changed?

The belts are consumables. Might even snaps out of a sudden if it's already worn.

how much are the belts and how hard to replace.

One is about 30 and the shorter ones about 25.
Both together won't cost over $50 unless it's highway robbery shop.

It's a 15 minutes easy job. Saw Ben changed both belts for stef.
You can bring it to bonfire and ask someone to change for you.

Mate they aren't too hard, you get the belts and I'd be happy to help you out at the bonfire
(Gholdy showed me how to do them, so I'm sure he can lend a hand too. Will take less than half hour for sure.

Degreaser is bad

Yupz had that prob a while ago in my old FTO. Start up the car when cold it screeches like a bitch. Turn on the a/c even worst. Changed the AC belt and all was quiet again
