Take off the belt for the power steering, by slackening the bolts through the adjuster and see if it is still noisy.

If it is, it may be the alternator bearings, water pump, or even just a worn out fanbelt, or one that needs retensioning.

If it isn't, it may be the tensioner pulley, steering pump or again a worn out drive belt.
If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there :)

It's not a big deal. Just go to a suzuki service and ask them to tight up your 2 belts between the fan and the

engine. It takes about 5 minutes to do both.

Its easy for them to do that because of a special tool that they have for this job.

the belts don't slide on the pulley.

I have see suzuki dealer and they told me the only methode is to put a belt after another. That of the alternator and then the power steering .

I had the same problem in the past and that was the solution. I ask me friend at local suzuki and he told me

the same for what i asked him and explained him.

Do you have install the proper belt? The width is ok?

If you have done this , then the only thing left is to make it tight.

It sounds like a belt - try putting a little chalk dust onto the belt and if it stops the squeaking you have found the problem.
To make sure its not the alternator, water pump, power steering pump, idler pulley etc take a long handled screwdriver and place it (carefully) on each item and listen to the noise - like a stethoscope. You will quickly hear if a bearing is going on something.

Take off the 2 belts and apply on them a small amount of vaselini in order to make them soft.

The squising noise will stop.

It definitely sounds like the belt then. An easy way is to spray a little WD40 onto the belt whilst the engine is running - one at a time if you can. The noise will disappear if its the belt.

no, no it's not the belts; There is a big difference when a belt slide.

on this vidéo, you can hear the belts (belt not slip but is too dry; changed now ):



This afternoon, i controlled the pulley dumper: OK

I then put a single belt (that of the alternator and water pump), there was a very slight noise which increased when I turn the headlights, so maybe the alternator ...
