my laguna V reg 2000 (older shape) 1.8 16v RT Sport has a very very bad squeal, Basically when started it squeals/squeaks, and it gets louder with driving, but decreases when braking, the noise comes from the auxillary belt,, the noises dies immediatly when talc or WD40 is put on the belt.
The belt doesnt cover all the "V"'s on the pullly and i am going to get another belt from renault to try this as imo it is deffo belt related, but the noise is so loud it is very very imbarrising drivng the car. I did spray some wd40 on the alternator just to make sure it wasnt one of the bearing in that that was fooked.
does anyone have any ideas please other than change the belt?
thank you for any help, cos its driving me mad
looked at an ST24 yesterday but couldnt get a PX on it

then take it to the local council estate, leave the doors open and few tins of spray paint in the passenger foot well and then report it nicked, then buy a mondeo with the insurance money

shit tit fuck bollows wank
no squeak, but then the belt moved a notch and started squeaking again, just tried to do it again but now cant seem to get it right,
there are six notches on each pully, and 5 on 1, the belt covers 5 notches and the one nearest the engine should be exposed, but one pulley at the front is the one giving probs, so i am just gonna speak to renault now as it is obvious it is just a case of putting it on right as i did sort it for 30 mins or so til the belt slipped
and i dont have no beers left
