It is never relaxing to listen to a noise from your car you don’t know where from. Thus what if you identify a serpentine belt noise that stays on your Mitsubishi L200? It is highly possible that this is a minimal issue, but before being sure, it is better to carry out some investigations. If this belt noise comes from your serpentine or driving belt, our team has written a document to help you locating and fixing it. First, we will look at the serpentine belt noises on your Mitsubishi L200 and then we will take a look at the sources of these sounds.
I feel noises from serpentine belt Mitsubishi L200
The best method to check the condition of your belts is to listen to your car. Immediately after you perceive sounds such as squealing or bells, you should take a closer look to verify their source. The function of the serpentine belt or driving belt of your Mitsubishi L200 is to transmit the movement of the engine to the secondary components that it will supply with energy. Like steering, air conditioning, water pump. Its role is therefore fundamental in the normal use of your car. The serpentine belt is said to be asynchronous, i.e. unlike the timing belt, it has the capacity to drive different engine components at variable speeds.
I listen to squealing noises on my serpentine belt Mitsubishi L200
This type of squealing belt noises on Mitsubishi L200, which will often be acute, can generally arise when the engine is cold, or when the acceleration increases in intensity. . This type of noise must be heavy and it is normally quite simple to link it with one of these belts. To verify, do not hesitate to open your bonnet, engine running cold and check the source of this noise, the serpentine or driving belt being apparent, it should not be too difficult for you to point a belt noise on your Mitsubishi L200. The cause of this issue can be related to the damper pulley, which operates as a damper to reduce irregularities in the tension in the motor cycle and therefore in the energy transmission to the belt. This results in a loose belt that will jerk. However, you still have the possibility that this event is annodine. As the serpentine belt of your Mitsubishi L200 is exposed, it may squeak due to excessive humidity due to weather conditions and it may stop with a change in conditions.

Like squealing noise, it can be identified in most cases when cold . It generally means a worn pulley whose streaks no longer allow it to be driven correctly. Other alternatives, the dynamic belt tensioner or the disengageable pulley of the alternator may be at the source of this issue. Remember to verify first the serpentine/driving belt which in most cases is the cause of this issue, otherwise it will be necessary to swap the tensioner or pulley.
I listen to bearing noises on the serpentine belt of my Mitsubishi L200
Finally, if in your case you discern a bearing belt noise on Mitsubishi L200, it is possible that it is related to a serpentine belt that is too tight . Indeed, it is possible that its size may be smaller than prescribed and cause the entire system to overvoltage, resulting in this whistling noise or slight rolling noise. The risk in this case is that the bearing bearings or the Damper pulley may fail . Remember, therefore, to stretch the belt to limit the risks or to swap it if it is too short. If after checking all thoses alternatives, you still notice a belt noises, read our article about timing belt noises on Mitsubishi L200 which could maybe help you.
