Squealing - Timing Belt Question.

I can hear squealing which is a definite sign that I need to change my timing belts. I hear this is very costy and I'm very tight on money right now. I also heard this is hard to change and something I should take to the shop. I don't want to take it back to the dealer because they assraped me already on the clutch. They made me pay $600 and they said they were doing me a favor by paying the other $300 for a fucking CLUTCH.

Please help.

timing belts do not squeel. you are hearing the accessory belts (ie: air conditioner, alternator, etc.).

take it to the local shop and have those replaced.......it'll be like 50 bucks.

Your accessory belts are either loose or worn out. To check if they're loose, push on one of them. It shouldn't flex much. If it does, adjust the tensioner. If the belts are frayed, replace them ASAP. Loosen the tensioner, pull the belt off, and reinstall... $10 in parts.

If the timing belt ever made any sort of noise, you'd have major problems!.

Yeah, it's probably not your timing belt making that noise. Although if your coming up on or around 80-90K miles. You'll have to replace it soon anyway.
