Hello all,

Today I noticed that if my car goes thru a puddle, I get a quick squeal. I try to go thru them slow (it was storming earlier), and maybe a few seconds later I'll get the squeal, sometimes I seem to stop it when I put on the brake. sounds like it comes from the right side.

anything to be concerned about? I only have a serpentine belt right?

It's your belt slipping it may be going bad but if it doesn't do it when it's not getting wet your fine.

in 8 hours of driving daily I never hear that belt, only when i hit a good puddle. and it only last for like 2 seconds

 

[dsmuts]

you should be fine then i wouldn't worry about it.

the belt is nearing the end of it's life. it still has some time though.

I had the same issue when I first got my taurus. It got bad enough that on the highway, the alternator stopped charging and I lost my powersteering. So I made a splash shield to cover the crank pulley which is easily splashed. Haven't had a problem since.
