Squeaking noise after timing belt and driver belts changed. Help?

I had my timing belt, water pump, and all driver belts changed on my 99 CIVIC with 95K miles. There was no noise, but now there is squeaking noise coming out. I went back to the mechanic which I had a referral from TIRERACK. He gave me one year parts, labor. He did 4 minutes adjustment on the driverbelts, and said that the squealing noise when you get to like 4000 RPMs is or when I drive is from the timing belt. He told me he installed it properly, and that the Timing Belt has to strech out and with time, the noise will fade out. Any thoughts, suggestions, is what he saying true. Thanks

WRONG ANSWER FROM YOUR MECHANIC.............



TAKE THE CAR BACK AND HAVE HIM ADJUST IT CORRECTLY, HE MAY AT THIS TIME NOT WANT TO BUT HE HAS TO.



THE TIMING BELT IF INSTALLED CORRECTLY WILL NOT MAKE ANY NOISE AT ANY RPM.



THE DRIVE BELTS ON THE OTHER HAND IF THEY ARE A CHEAP QUALITY TYPE WILL MAKE NOISE AND ALL THE ADJUSTMENT IN THE WORLD WILL NOT STOP IT.



THE BEST BELTS ON THE MARKET ARE MADE BY GOODYEAR AND ALWAYS PAY TOP DOLLAR FOR WHAT IS CALLED %26quot;FIRST LINE BELTS%26quot; AND DON'T BUY SECOND LINE BELTS LIKE FROM SOME OF THESE AUTO PART CHAIN STORES.



REMEMBER THAT LIFETIME WARRANTY MEANS NOTHING IF YOU HAVE NOISE AND OR IF YOU ARE SITTING ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD.

he's blatently done the belt up too tight, it maybe true the belt will %26quot;stretch out%26quot; but ive not heard of this, the last thing you want the timing belt to do is %26quot;stretch%26quot; . it will weaken it. phone a honda dealer and check about the belt stretching, i bet they say no.

the long side of the belt should be able to twist 90 degrees, no more and no less . that is the correct tension. sounds like it needs to be slackened ever so slightly, dont do it yourself!

the only other thing it could be is the timing belt tensioner pulley, was that replaced? if not it should have been cos if it fails the belt will slip and damage the head severely
Yup, too tight. May get better with time, but not to specifications.
wrong tension on the cam belt / accessories belt or both!

it will wear the bearings out faster get a second opinion b4 it busts something big time!
There should be no noise Something is not right,could be the belt tensioner bearing especialy if the belt was to tight.Could be the plastic cover is fouling the belt
YOUR CAR NEEDS A NEW BELT TENSIONER,THESE PARTS ARE RARELY CHANGED AT PRIVATE MECHANICS SHOPS BUT HIGH VOLUME REPLACEMENT PART AMOUNG DEALERS,TO QUIET BELT SQUEAKS DUE TO CUSTOMER NOISE COMPLAINTS.MOST PULLEYS ARE BEARINGS THAT JUST WEAR SLIGHTLY CAUSE SQEAKING.INEXSPENSIVE PEACE OF MIND....HAPPY TRAILS
You do not want a timing belt to stretch. A stretched or loose belt translates to loss in power transmission. I used to be a mechanic, and I think either wrong belt was ordered or something is causing there to be too much tension on the belt. It could be that he had to move things around and moved a fan belt to make the noise; this is possible, but not very likely as the fan belt on Civics turn at differrent speeds compared to the timing belt.



The mechanic should be responsible for making all the proper adjustments for your Civic. Take it back, and once he does his work, (if you have to) get another mechanice to check out the work. Lube on the crankshaft and camshaft(s) will reduce or eliminate the squeaks for a while, but the tension is still bad for the belt and the car in the long run.



Tell him Civics have a rubber belt, some cars have a chain. Are the chain belts supposed to stretch too?
Most likely the squealing is coming from the accessory belts. The accessory belts are able to slip, and any misalignment between the pulleys can cause noise. Also poor quality belts can be a cause of noise. I've never heard a timing belt make noise, as these are positive grip type belts, meaning they have teeth and do not slip. Being made like this, the belt cannot be stretched, as this would offset the tooth spacing. I would take it back to him and demand it be fixed.
