Ok so here is the thing. My gf has a 95 tsi that i was going to buy for parts cuz it was only going to cost me $200 for the whole car. The car only needed a turbo so i bought and put one in it to get it running. The car had a new engine put into it and was running well with the new turbo. The only downfall is that its an auto http://www.dsmstyle.com/forums/images/icons/icon9.gif. O well i gave it to her anyways.

So the problem is that the power steering belt squeals all the time. It has new belts that were just put on not too long ago. So now im in the situation with her, but i have my own things to do with my 98 GSX!

Is there any chance the belt could be too tight?? When i tighten it up it goes away for a while but then it comes back so, If anyone has any idea just let me know.

Did you check to make sure it was full of ps fluid?? If its low it will squeal.
p.s. nothing wrong with an auto

That's what you get for getting another dsm! haha jk, But yeah, check the fluid level, and also the tension of the belt.

Alright thanks guys..

Ill post what happens with it all. My gf is at work with the car so ill have to check it out when she gets off.

P.S there's nothing wrong with an auto i just prefer to be in more control of my car. Plus you cant help but want a stick!!!!

Ok here's the thing... I checked the fluid levels on the ps and its full!! i checked the belt and it has a little more then just "some play". So the next problem is that whenever you tighten the belt it seems to find away to loosen itself again.. its already been tightened like three or four times and the prob still presists!!!!

I would like to hear some more input on the subject.......

What kind of belt is it? Do you put a pry bar behind the PS pump when you tighten it?

im not sure my gf dad was the last one that did it and it went back to squealing soon after

and i would be afraid to use lock tight cuz im sure i wanna be able to loosen and tighten that screw....

Blue loc-tite can easily be unscrewed
