    2013 Suzuki sx4 squealing

    Hey guys I’m getting a squeal when the car is running, I’m not sure if it’s just the belt or is there a common issue with one of the pulleys? I’d like to order everything at once to save on shipping , thanks any help would be appreciated

    That’s a real vague question. You will need to pinpoint the squeal. Get yourself a mechanics stethoscope or a real long screwdriver and very carefully probe around to all your belt driven accessories/pulleys while it’s running to listen. You should find it rather quickly.

    Yah I’m not comfortable sticking stuck around rotating pulleys and belts could get ugly.
    I will start with a belt I suppose was hoping to get more feedback

    "2013 Suzuki sx4" is not a problem. TO help others search for and find your problem if they have the same, your title can be changed to contain the identification of the problem type. THis is the purpose of the forums.
    ANd by the way, what is your car odometer reading ? THere are several mentions of squeals with the belt idle or tensioner ..but that generally occurs after the engine has accumulated some miles or km.....
    SO..precise details can bring more precise replies.
