  • Belts Squeak when starting on colder mornings

    Hi All,

    I've noticed with the cold mornings now set in when I start the Prado in the morning, the belts squeak for about 30 seconds whilst the engine warms. I've looked into a few factors as to what could be the cause, with my Prado just over 200,000km apparently it may be due for a new starter motor (still original) as cranking seems to be a bit slower and harder for the car in the morning. I can rule at the battery as it has only just been replaced with a brand new 600 CCA battery and tested all ok. I'm going to replace the main drive belt this weekend to see if that makes any difference. Does anyone have any other advice before looking into the starter motor option?

    Thanks,
    Jesse

    Provided the belts are in good condition just apply some dry lube (you buy a stick) or soap to the inside of the belt. You need to do it with the engine running so be careful.
