Engine Compartment Squeak - Toyota 4Runner Forum

Go-T4R · 08-27-2014, 05:40 AM

We recently had a huge rain storm here and I had some fun driving through some gnarly puddles. Afterwords I noticed that there is a new squeak that I have never heard coming from my engine compartment. I don't know where it is originating. My thoughts would be the fan or a pulley or something.

It is highly noticeable at idle or when not on the gas

Any ideas and or solutions to the issue

Not to be a jerk but how old is your serpentine belt? I get a squeal if there is moisture in the air but it goes away onced warmed up.

It could be tensioner pulleys, old belt, contaminated belt, etc....you just gotta get in there and do some investigating to determine exactly where it's coming from. Or start replacing parts until it's gone

I would highly doubt it's the fan.

I have no clue how old my serpentine belt is to be honest. I have only had my runner for 2 months. The squeak has actually subsided after a few days of warm weather.
