constant ticking/screeching noise

[Gs VS]

hey ppl,

lately i been hearing a constant ticking/screeching noise.. im pretty sure its somethin to do with the belt, but i want as many ideas so i can tackle it this weekend... it becomes annoying... it only happens when its in drive... and afta bout 20 mins of driving...

its not my controller arm or pulley, cause theyve been repalced bout 1 month ago, and its not the belt cause its been replaced bout 4 months ago...

i think its either a bearing on the pulley, or i need to lube the belt up a bit...

but i heard it could also b a water pump or the alternator, but i have seen no signs of those going out...


any ideas and as much info would b appreciated...

thanks heeps ppl...

Get a can of WD40 or similar with a tube on the end - spray it at the centre of each pulley one at a time. When the screech or whatever stops you have the culprit. Also spray the tensioner around where the spring is. Check alternator and water pump by removing serpentine belt and spin alt/WP by hand to feel for roughness.
