Using belt dressing as a temporary fix to your squeaky drive belt is sometimes okay. However, relying on the lubricant whenever your engine starts making noise may ignore the root cause of the problem, leading to further complications.

The best solution for this issue is to replace the worn-out drive belt with a new one. It’s best to consult or hire a professional to perform the replacement so they can install the new drive belt properly. Structural Problem in the Pulley Not all engine noises are a result of a problematic drive belt. There could be some mechanical issues at play that you can’t fix by simply applying a lubricant to the drive or serpentine belt. In that case, applying belt dressing can be counterproductive and even dangerous as it can speed up the movement of the drive belt or slow it down due to residue. It’ll then add more pressure on mechanical parts like the pulley or loosen some bearings even more. When and How To Use Belt Dressing In my experience, I’ve found it helpful to look at why you would need belt dressing in the first place and what you can do to avoid this or at least reduce it. So here’s my list of a few things to look out for and techniques to use before you apply belt dressing.

No, using WD-40 as a belt dressing is not recommended. WD-40 is petroleum-based and can break down the rubber in the belt. If you have a squeaky engine belt, it's better to adjust the tension rather than using WD-40. 3. Why not to use belt dressing? Like shoes, it pays to have a selection of belts to choose from when dressing for your next casual, smart casual or formal rendezvous. Here are five to get you started. Formal Dark Leather Hearing squeaking noises from your machine or car’s engine can be alarming. Unfortunately, mechanics may not be readily available all the time. As such, you may need a temporary fix while you make your way to the nearest repair shop. In this situation, regardless of how much belt dressing you apply, you’ll still hear the squeaking noise. Sometimes, the main reason your drive belt is making noise has nothing to do with the belt. It could be because of misalignment in the pulley system or worn-out pulley bearings. In such cases, you need to realign your pulleys or tighten or replace some accessories and bearings.You can spray a high-performance silicone spray on your fan belt. This silicone-based spray is suitable for rubber parts like belts and can also be used on metal, plastic, and wood without leaving stains. It helps restore grip and prolongs the life of the belt. 2. Can you use wd40 instead of belt dressing? Most modern cars use synthetic serpentine belts made of ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM). The material is more durable than the traditional neoprene rubber and more resistant to wear and tear. You shouldn’t apply belt dressing on EPDM serpentine belts unless your car dealer or mechanic recommends it. As the belt dressing dries up, it may leave residue on the surface or ribs of the belt, reviving the noise in your machine and introducing new problems. The residue may get caught between the belt rib and the pulleys and cause friction. It will then cause more squeaking noises and may result in your belts slipping or being misaligned.
