What Does That Squeak Mean?

It does not matter if you are in Victorville or elsewhere when you turn your vehicle or start it up, and you hear a squeak, then you have an issue. Squeaks around the motor area of a car are indicators of emerging problems. Squeals—well that means that that squeak you used to hear has blown up to become damage.

A squeak comes from one of your engine belts. In the most recent vehicles, these belts typically come in what is called a serpentine form. Serpentine belts drive every accessory of your car—alternator, water pump, power steering pump, air conditioner compressor, and radiator cooling fan. The squeak indicates either a frayed belt that is not correctly connecting to the pumps or a bearing beginning to seize somewhere in the engine.

When you first hear a squeak, come to Victorville Hyundai for a quick inspection of the issue.
