hi guys i have a horrible squeeking noise from my car.at first i thought it was rain water getting on the belts because i have a vented bonnet ,but its getting worse. i have changed all the belts but the squeek is stilll there.if i drive the car for 5-10 mins and the car is nice and hot the squeek stops. i dont know where the noise is comming from but it sounds awfull its louder than the exhaust. anybody got any ideas. this is driving me crazy

 

Is it from the belts? If so, figure out which one. It could be your water pump or alternator going out, or maybe your belts are loose. You need to listed and determine what accessory it is coming from.

 

i dont think the belts are loose because i have had trouble in the past with belts jumping off or even snapping i think i have the belts just right .in he last few months i have changed the water pump and the radiator thats when the noise started

 

There is your problem them. Where did you get water pump from. It sounds like you put in a bad pump then if that is when your noise started. I have had issues with buying re manufactured water pumps for my Taurus. I think I went through three in a month. I would pony up the cash and get one from Mazda (I'm assuming that yours is a reman as I really don't know but that is what is sounds like)

 

I got mine from Ray at Malloy. It was under $100 shipped with a refundable core charge.

 

He is in the UK, I don't think the shipping would be worth it. Just go down to your local Mazda dealer.

 

Same thing happened to me after changein the belts ,adjusted them a lil looser and tighter but noise is still there,untill car heats up.Think it might be the bearing in the tentioner .sounds nasty

 

thanks guys i will give mazda a call another new water pump it has to be that

 

I would check the belt tensioner before changing out the water pump.
