I have a 2004 LR Freelander and there's a squeek coming from under the hood. It sounds like it is coming from the serpentine belt system. The belt looks fine and it only squeeks when the engine is turned on initially, after having been off for a while. I'm wondering if it is something that I could fix myself. Any suggestions, etc?

 

How old is the belt, how many cracks on it? You can also have a idler or tensioner pulley failing.

 

Yea, the belt looks good. Is fixing the idler or tensioner pulley pretty simple or am I going to have to take it to the shop? Any advice on fixing it?

By the way, the belt you're talking about is the one on the left side (passenger) of the engine, right? Just making sure.

Thanks alot!
