When I got in the car to go to work I turned it on and it made a GOD AWFUL squealing noise. I knew it had to be a belt but a lot of times after the belt warms up it will stop squealing. Well... my plan was to take it to get the belt replaced until I started to smell smoke and my power stearing went out... LOVELY isnt it?

Luckily I have an awesome stepdad and he is going to come over so we can fix it bigsmile

Cars are like computers. So necessary these days, but scary and finicky, too!!! Glad you have a good help person!!! drinker

I let the power steering stay broke in my car for a week once...it was a real time saver at the gym since I no longer had a need for upper body work. slaphead

It will only be the cost of the belt and my stepdad and I will replace it ourselves. He and I have taken care of every problem my cars have ever had since I've been driving. It's like a bonding time for us bigsmile

Are you sure it's just the belt?? That kinda sounds like the power steering pump seized up.

I know exactly what it is ... Serpentine Belt.

I have been around cars all my life, even ran a body shop that my parents owned.

I wasn't questioning your ability or knowledge of cars. I was just checking because I have had it happen. flowerforyou
