Belt Whining....Need some answers

ssbaby01 · 10-06-2009, 08:27 PM

I have an 01 SS that just turned 100K yesterday. A few wks ago I started hearing a whining under the hood when driving but it would subside when I hit the clutch and the brake. Today it is louder and does not quiet all the way down with the clutch and brake engaged. I replaced my surpentin belt about 3 mths ago so I cant imagine it being that again. Any other belts I need to look at. My live in mechanic (my ex hubby) is no longer available so I am on my own to find out what is going on. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Idler or tentioner pully, there is one of each. They are a common problem in these cars.
