Re: Car squealing

I had a new alternator belt fitted by a mechanic whose hands were coated in greasy muck. That meant a greasy belt, which meant a squealing belt as it tried to grip to supply the alternator load.

Luckily I spotted it before leaving the garage. It took them ages to degrease the pulley wheels before refitting a new belt with clean hands.

In your case, if the "car" is squealing with the engine off, perhaps you are getting some sort of feedback through the in-car stereo system?
