Use it sparingly, though, as you dont want carb spray sitting on the belts for too long. Also check the belts for any cracks. It might be a new belt, but not everything will be perfect off the manufacturing line. I used to work at an Advance Auto and we'd get 1 week old belt returns every few weeks or so. Good luck.

I had an interesting squeaking on my 2003 Pathy, my wife complained regularly and we took it in several times. Eventually the service writer heard the noise and we left overnight, as it was at start up the same as the problem here.
Anyway they call and said it’s the belt. Since we were at 35,000 and nearly out of warrantee I was skeptical to say the least.
So I arrived the next morning, the car was squeaking away and a small squirt of Wd-40 on the belt ONLY fixed the noise. It has not come back either.
So my conclusion is the belt is rubbing the side of one of the pulleys. Maybe a pulley is slightly out of true or belt slightly oversize………
Hope this helps........
