Squealing noise - what do you think it is?
Hey everybody, it's been a while since I have posted on here - I'm having an issue with my 1990 N/A vert.
Symptoms:
Squealing Noise from front of car
Car doesn't need to be moving
Not constant, usually the squealing happens after 10-15 min of driving
Squealing happens when I have released the clutch
sometimes "Blipping" the throttle makes the squeal go away
Happens while idle, and in at least 1st, 2nd, and reverse - I don't think I've noticed it in 3rd gear or higher
Actions taken so far:
None.
I have a hunch that it's just a belt, the car isn't overheating or having any trouble shifting into any gear. I just wanted to throw this out there to see if you guys agree or if you think it could be something else. I'll probably pick up a new belt today. It's not as high pitched a squeal / squeek as I have heard in the past when a belt is going bad, but it's definitely very very loud and moderately embarrassing.

definantly a belt or something related, rather than tracking down a stethascope, come on not many people just have these laying around at there house, you can use a wooden dowel of some sort, it will do the same thing.
jsut place it on something ans stick the other end to your ear and listen
