Any suggestions? > m I sprayed some Krylon Belt Dressing on my belt because it was squeaking and chirping a little bit on cold mornings. Then I drove to school and listened to what sounded like the roar of duct tape being ripped from a roll. Mile after mile, a huge roll of duct tape. > Hi all, > I have an engine squeak, only at idle.

I realize that the wd40 will not last long, can I just add some oil or do I need to replace the idler?

It's got a sealed bearing, and once it's out of lube, it's done. >> > Hi all, >> > I have an engine squeak, only at idle. Any suggestions?

Once it starts squeaking it's only a matter of time till the bearing start loosening up. Denny >> > Hi all, >> > I have an engine squeak, only at idle. Any suggestions?

Depends on whether you want to have it fail or not, right? Sure, you can oil it, but will you really trust it? |
