Can anyone reccomend a resonable mileage interval for serpentine belt replacement?
I've got an unpleasant squealing noise that's coming from the front of the engine. The noise manifests on cold starts (below 50ºF), the colder and more humid, the worse the noise. I'm not yet sure what the cause of the noise is.
I've owned my LC for about 18 months. Current mileage around 148k. I looked through my service records and I don't have confirmation that the serp belt was changed, but the timing belt and water pump was done at 93.5k miles in 2014. It seems to me that the belt -should- have been changed at that time.
I have a mechanic's stephoscope but I'm a bit reluctant to lower that long rod down near the spinning fan and running belts. Is there any other way to diagnose and determine the source of the noise?
