Hey guys i just picked up an '05 TL this week and everything seems to work fine and it runs very well, yesterday while taking a 2 hour trip from home it developed what sounds like a belt squeak?? Some people have told me that it could be the tensioner pulley? the belt seems to be new. Anybody had a similar problem?

 

mine just started squeaking too as the weather in New England is getting warmer (40s and 50s) at first i thought it sounded like the belt but not it sounds more like the tensioner/idler pully assembly more of a slightly more metalic squeak. it started after i picked the car up from the dealership after getting warranty work done on a speaker. I had heard the noise before on really wet days occasionally but it was intermittent. I'm going to try to get the dealer to replace the tensioner/idler under warranty and see if that solves it.

 

Mine started on the way to the dealership to finish paperwork on the car. I'm going to replace the tensioner and belt as well and hope it fixes it. It drives fine its just really annoying to drive.

 

My plan as well. I have an appointment with the dealership this Thursday. I don't see why the warranty wouldn't cover it.
