This type of squealing belt noises on Toyota Iq, which will often be acute, can in most cases occur when the engine is cold, or when the acceleration increases in intensity. . This type of noise must be significant and it is normally quite simple to relate it with one of these belts. To check, do not hesitate to open your bonnet, engine running cold and check the origin of this noise, the serpentine or driving belt being accessible, it should not be too complicated for you to spot a belt noise on your Toyota Iq. The reason of this problem can be linked to the damper pulley, which functions as a damper to eradicate 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 opportunity that this phenomenon is annodine. As the serpentine belt of your Toyota Iq is exposed, it may squeak due to excessive humidity due to weather conditions and it may stop with a change in conditions.

I listen to bearing noises on the serpentine belt of my Toyota Iq
Finally, if in your case you distinguish a bearing belt noise on Toyota Iq, it is plausible that it is linked to a serpentine belt that is too tight . Indeed, it is plausible that its size may be smaller than recommended 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 change it if it is too short. If after checking all thoses possibilities, you still perceive a belt noises, read our article about timing belt noises on Toyota Iq which could maybe help you.
