what does a alternator belt (at least I think that is what it is) that make a short 'squeal' every 3 or 4 seconds mean?


Does the sound change when you turn the headlights on / off ?

I've never heard an alternator belt squeal before, but I have heard many alternators squeal.. meaning the bearings are worn, and a new one will be needed in a year or two, or less.

Ditto for power-steering pumps, except they usually die completely shortly after beginning to squeal.

Cheers
