Grab a crayon and hold it against the contact side of the belt while the engine is going. Just be careful not to tangle your fingers in the moving belt ;D

Old skool trick that works great.

Ross it does need to be replaced,

drive belts drive on the side of the belts(or sides if it a mutigroove) so when they wear the belts get thinner (the v bits) and then bottom out so adjusting them does not really work....

Yeah true that, just thought I'd suggest the crayon because my fan belt did exactly the same thing randomly one day. Grabbed a crayon and gave it to the belt, That was 20,000km ago and it hasn't squeaked since.

Worth a shot just cos it's cheap ;D

ill give it a go as an interim measure, perhaps.

Its not due for another service for like 3000kms. Thats ages considering i do around 250km per fortnight in it lol.

Its usually just every 6 months....not every 5000kms lol.

repco sells a wax crayon specifically for stopping squeaks. However, DONT leave in glovebox, it will melt.

haha +1 i used a candle for a bit..checked in my glovebox on weekend it was melted/attached to my headunit front plate case thing lol

Easy as diy job to replace man did mine on the weekend was doing the same thing...

probably 20bucks from repco and a 10min job if that

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
