Squeking after water pump install I put in a Bosch water pump and when I first started it, it only squeked a couple seconds and went away. I drove it for about 20 miles and there was no squeking the whole time. It was parked all night and I checked for leaks this morning and it started squeking realy bad and got louder as I hit the throttle. Is there anything I could do to fix that or just return it and get another. I also sprayed belt dressing on the belts and that didnt do anything so i dont think its the belt.
belt dressing only makes things worse.
Start the car let it idle take a wire brush and lay the brush on the grooved side of the belt. More than likely the paint off the new water pump is causing the belt to squeek as it rides over it.
Just be careful so you loose the brush in the belt, or a finger. disclaimer
