marlena caldwell Posted October 30, 2024 Share Posted October 30, 2024 I recently started driving my 98 Ford Taurus Wagon after it sat for around a year in need of some repairs. Now it has a pretty loud high pitched screeching noise that is present as soon as I start it and can be heard constantly. It does get louder when I accelerate and is much quieter when I'm idling or let up off the gas. Turning has no effect on the intensity of it nor does it subside once the vehicle is warmed up or has been driven for a little ways. It doesn't sound the noise of a typical bad serpentine belt but Im sure on every car that doesn't sound exactly the same either. What is causing the noise?

akirby Posted October 30, 2024 Share Posted October 30, 2024 I was going to say serpentine belt. I’d change it first just to be safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
