    Default Problem With My Cobalt SS (Loud Squeek)

    I start the car and there is a loud squeek comming from the passenger side. It also is loud when i rev or on the throttle. Its comming from one of the pulleys? Anyone know what this could be?

    I figured it might be that. How much would it cost to repair? can i do it myself? or should i take it to the dealership?

    uh... you can try it your self - figure out what belt it is first - check deflection of the belts by pulling on them.. the one that moves the most - is likely your lose belt haha

    I replaced the belt and it is still squeeking. I think its either the tensioner pulley, or a bad bearing in one of the pulleys? What does everyone think? What else could it be?

    Same reply from grabalane.

    Take a video of it. No matter how well you think you are describing your issue, we can dance around this all year long. Fastest way to get a diagnosis is a video.

    I second Demon Eclipse's comment. My buddy had a supercharged one and it was the biggest POS.
