one of my belts is squealing when the car is climbing through low revs, only seems to happen when it's either in first second or third gear and seems to go away once the car's heated up abit (20-30 miles ish).

replaced the fanbelt but it's not made a difference, anyone else experienced anything similar ?
 
Yeah i went to the garage in my stilo they claimed it was the left coil spring even thought it was wasn't as it was coming from the right of the car directly in front of the driver.. Then the aux belt no difference....does it in low revs .. Thought it might be one of the pulleys or dry bearing. Perhaps

replaced all the springs with cobra 40mm lowering springs, noise is still there, will probably just start replacing things until it stops doing it :bang:
 
Lmao let me know if you find it gets on my nerves and the garage is clueless
 
welcome to the world of Fiat ownership. 80% of the time it will do your head in and you will want to scrap it or sell it but 20% of the time it will feel like the best car in the world and steal your heart.


if I was you I would try squirting a little bit of wd40 (other products available) in the pulleys while the engine is running and see if you can reduce the noise or clear it up. do one at a time and when you hear a difference you know what the issue is. my guess would be the idler so start there mate.
