MQ triton tensioner squealing when cold

Hi just wondering if anyone has had issues with there MQ and squeling noise on cold or wet start ups. Only when cold goes away when it's warmed up. Any one have a fix for this.

How many Kms on engine, what's the environment where vehicle is parked?

Could be just your AC belt has had enough, or the tensioner might have a problem. If its in warranty and its a tensioner, then they replace the belt as well . If its just a belt then its a chargable item

It has done it from new ute had about 5000kms on it when it started after a small water crossing. Got sick of the dealership telling me it just needed adjusting. When they adjust it. It only fixes it for a day or so. Has 82000kms on it now great ute it's the only problem I have had with it.

Rub a dry cake of soap on the belt and see if the noise disappears, before you laugh :lol: give it a go works a treat :mrgreen:

Very common on MQ,MR & QE. At that kms sounds like new belt is needed.
