fixing belt squeek with Comet

Jul 06, 2005 4 Replies

Hi!


I have a belt squeek on my 95 Taurus only when it's wet. A mechanic inspected it and said it's fine. I have heard of a possibility to clean the belt by putting some Comet on it. Is this a plausable solution? Any suggestions, coments, pros and cons?



Thanks!

change the belt or live with the squeak --- anything that u put on to stop the squeak will only wear off anyways .. besides does comet not disovle in water?

No, I'm not sure. I just assumed it's the belt. How to know what sqeeks? I have heard that Comet cleans off the oil and other junk that might be on the belt and causes the squeak, making the belt to slip. Is that true? E

Never heard of anyone using Comet for that. But, a lot of people never heard of gapping points with the foil wrapper from a stick of gum, either.
