  3. I’m looking for technical help or recommendations on: Belt squealing

Hi all. My Eunos Roadster has a bit of belt squeal. It happens at different times to different degrees. I’ve linked a video below, although the video doesn’t capture the full sound of the squeal. Just wondering has any ideas on what I should be looking for/listening out for.

Check the tension on your power steering and water pump/alternator belts.
Loose belts are the most common cause of squealing, followed by water pump bearing.
