Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior Why does my car make squeaky noise whenever it rains?

Hey guys maybe you might be able to answer this then rather take it to dealership,seems like in the mornings or when it rains with all the condensity when I start the car it makes this squeaky noise and after driving for awhile it goes away, seems like something is loose or wet let me know thanks!!

Same thing happened to my car with the previous owner, and in the same situations.

Turned out to be the belt tensioner.

Mine did the same thing. Its just that your belts get wet when it rains. Go to Autozone and Pick up any belt treatment spray, I got mine for about $6. Turn your steering wheel all the way to the right. Go to the passenger side of the car. Behind the front tire you will see the PROBLEM belt... Give that sucker a dose of the old medacine and listen to it do wonders..

yeah, shit gets wet and doesn't wanna dry. I did the same with belt dressing...

Mine has never done this with the new belt tensioner. I even have the right side engine plastics off, so the belt is exposed to the elements.

mine squeaks even on a normal day driving.that shit is annoying..

i had brought my car to the dealership about that problem and they said it was my tensioners acting up and that they had replaced it for free under the 36,000 mile powertrain warrenty.

thanks guys I thought it was tht problem it is annoying, goes away after driving for awhile though but I figure I do myself then have toyota rip me off since I am out of warranty

same here, im over 36k

i have a noise to when its wet dose it come from sround the pedals , under seat area?

I did the same with belt dressing...but the squeaks came back after a week. I think the moisture get into the belt. Shit that annoying

really??? because mine is under 36k and it's starting to do that..squeak in the morning..and now i have a different squeak too, the f*ckin clutch...i wonder if powertrain warranty will cover the noise...
