Hey guys,
I was hoping ya'll would be able to help me out with my current dilemma. I have a 2000 Nissan Maxima with ~128k. A few weeks ago, the car wouldn't start so we put in a new battery and alternator. While it was being worked on, my dad suggested we go ahead and replace the belt. Well after that the car has started to make a horrible screeching sound, especially on the first startup of the day! We called the mechanic and they said they would tighten it, which they did to no avail. Then they ordered a Nissa factory belt and installed it yesterday. The screeching was back again this morning. I'm going to test and see if its the A/C belt since that seems to be a common suggestion online. So here are some specifics:
-Car screeches on startup
-Car screeches when I've had my foot off the gas pedal and apply some pressure to accelerate
-Car likes to screech in turns where I accelerate
-Car screeches :lame:
Any insight would be awesome!
