belt

Hello All, I'm considering replacing the serpentine belt in my 2016 CX-3 Grand Touring. I've done belts on other cars before. Has anyone done this on a CX-3 before? Did you think it was particularly difficult? Any tips/tricks?

I've got a noise coming from the drive belt area that I would describe as sort of a hollow, metallic gurgle. It increases when throttle is applied, but you can still hear it while idling when the hood is open. It's mostly noticeable at lower speeds, although this could be due to ambient...

Hey Guys, This is the first time I have posted on here. My Mazda Protege 5 2003 (actually called Mazda 323 SP20 where I'm from haha), has got a belt that squeals for about 10-20 seconds on start up. This doesn't happen every time but generally happens when it is cold and has been raining...

My Protege has taken a liking to throwing alternator belts, and i can't figure out why! the belt sequels when i put an electrical load on it, such as turning on the headlights, fan ect, and I blow the alternator belt when i drive after dark. I have changed the alternator twice now, as well as...

Every time I start my car after it has cooled down, I turn on my lights and/or my heat and a squealing noise comes from engine. Sometimes if I hold in the clutch for a few seconds it will stop but usually it won't stop til I get into 4th or 5th gear? any clue what it could be and how much to...

First post here on the forums, haven't found anything regarding this issue anywhere at all, so I'm writing you all an essay. I own a 2010 3, and I've had this issue basically since I owned the car. The dealership couldn't recreate it, so they had no idea what I was talking about or what to do...

Can a squealing drive belt (since february 2012) cause battery problems and stalling? The squeal happens during cold starts and goes away as soon as i shift the gear. The instrument panel is dim and cuts off, horn is low, and radio cuts off. Yesterday after a 30 minute highway drive the car...

Hey I now have 166,xxx miles on my car and the ac just went out. Anyways I got it fixed and was wondering what I might need in order to get my timing belt replaced. I know they sell the kits but I was wondering if I necessarily need the whole kit. Also if there are any other seals or o-rings...

I just bought a 99 Mazda Protege SE (After my brother decided to wrap my 2000 Mazda Protege around a tree) a couple days ago and it has been idling rough whenever I stop at a stop light. It doesn't happen right away (Thus the reason I didn't notice it during the test drive) it only seems to...

Sold. I picked up a new waterpump with timing belt and other miscellaneous parts before selling the car. I never got around to putting them on the car obviously. I'd take $80 plus shipping. This is a new pump, not a remanufactured/rebuilt. Might look at other offers.

I had my two drive belts replaced recently. The lower (skinnier) one feels a bit loose and squeals like mad when it's cold or wet outside. I need to tighten it, right? Could someone give me tips or point me to a how-to? My search came up fruitless. Thanks!

1998 Mazda 626- squeals intensely. Had 2 belts replaced..now every time I start it it still squeals...tried belt dressing...it ceases temporarilly but when I turn on the rear defroster and/or front defrost (not vents though) IT SCREAMS!! it is driving me nuts...any advice/help would be appreciated!

On acceleration and cruise, I have an intermittent low volume buzzing / squealing noise which I thought was a belt but they were checked at the dealer - no problems they say. Any suggestions on where to look next would be appreciated. Patrick
