Annoying Noise!!
Annoying Noise!!
I just got a new radiator for my car (6 months old) and its making a loud, whispering type noise. Like a spe-spe mixed with a che-che. When I sprayed some WD40 lube on the belt, it stopped. Could it be a bad pulley like my ac-pulley, it stopped working after two months of use and I dont want to waste money refilling freon if the ac might be bad. Also, the belt, belt tensioner, water pump, and alternator are all new.
As arch said, you'll need to replace that belt. If you ever need to lubricate a belt, use silicone belt dressing. (Not the spray cans, those are about worthless)
Again, as arch said, it could be a bad pulley, tensioner, or bad bearing. Hard to tell without hearing the nose you're speaking of.

Sounds like a belt tensioner. Luckily they are cheap and easy to install (takes about 2 minutes on a 3.8).
If you replace the tensioner, replace the belt as well imo.
