Hello Mikael
I had this problem a many years ago on a Chevy Camaro. I could not figure out which belt was squeeling, was it the power steering or A/C belt. They were both new and both tight. Between the sounds of the motor and fan running.....who could tell. My thought process was if I can't figure out what is squeeling, maybe I could figure out what was NOT squeeling. So I used a bar of soap. With the engine running at idle, I SOFTLY held the bar of soap against one side and then the other side of the A/C belt. Then Reved up the motor and still had the squeel. So I soaped the power steering belt and that stopped the squeeling. With that I pulled of the power steering belt, scrubbed the both pulley grooves for the belt. I took a steal yard stick and laid it accross both pulleys to verify or at least try to verify their alignment. From what I could see, I found the alignment to be pretty good. So I cleaned the belt and put it all back together. And it didn't squeel. A couple of week later the squeel came back. So I sat and watched the A/C belt as I reved the motor. The belt didn't hop around or attempt to cant or off angle it'self off to one side as it approached the next pulley, it looked even looked like the V of the pulley matched the V of the belt. ..... in the end I took a can of belt grip, sprayed it into a rag and slightly wiped down the inside belt area between the pulleys. Fired it back up and no more squeeling...................... in fact no more squeeling for about 3 more years, at that point I took the car swiming one night.......but that's another story. Good Luck....... Doug.H #6434
