In this video I go over in detail how to change the serpentine and A/C accessory belt on a Nissan 350Z (VQ35DE). Hopefully this helps you if you have a worn belt or some squeaking like I had.

I just completed my project. Took 45 minutes. This video was perfect. I had a quick squeal then went away. I tightened the tension on the belts and the squeal went away. Thanks man.

I would always tighten the belt first unless the car has done high mileage in which case just change them out.

One other question-why would you need to loosen the holding nuts on the pulleys? I replaced the belts on mine quite a few years ago and don’t recall doing that.

Could be your belts tension. It will shrink a little when its cold. Pry nothing to worry about but I am not a master mechanic. 🙃

I have the same noise but mine only makes it when I’m decelerating idk if I should replace the belt or maybe it’s something else?

@therealjessescheel 3 жыл бұрын

I would say try messing with the tension first. Your belts may be a little loose if they’re squeaking on deceleration. Also make sure there’s no oil or grease on them.

@qazzz3355 3 жыл бұрын

Check your belt tension first. May just be loose or tight depending on climate.

Did you have nonstop squeaking or did your car only squeal during a cold start? My 350 only squeals during the cold start but goes away completely after a few seconds and doesn’t squeal at all when it’s warmed up. Trying to figure out if I need a pulley somewhere or if I just need belts. Great video

@therealjessescheel 2 жыл бұрын

Play with the tensioner. You can pry solve it without belts.

@Luv-dq5th Жыл бұрын

Did you figure it out? Mine is doing the exact same thing

@HiThere-bu2fg Жыл бұрын

@@Luv-dq5th yes I changed my belts a few weeks ago and the squealing stopped. I figured it was the belts to begin with because a bad pully will constantly make noise whereas mine would only do it on a cold start. My belts were probably 7 years old so it was time. The hot dry summers in Vegas destroy anything rubber pretty quick.
