Wendy has this also :bang Only happens when it gets cold I forgot compeltely about it until about a month ago.

Several fixes not sure which ones are permanent. But, it doesn't bother me enough to take her back to the dealer.

Don't waste your time with factory belts, plain & simple they suck. Go to Autozone get a Gatorback belt from them.

I changed mine to the updated belt and took care of the problem.

Or Gatorback is the other option

Belt dressing is for V belts and V belts only...

On a serpentine belt, silicone spray is a far better choice.

silicone paste is the best I have found. WHILE THE ENGINE IS NOT RUNNING smear some on the inner ribs and on the outter part, then start it.

I had the same problem with my belt squealing on my 07 classic, took it in to the dealer, they warrantied it and put on a new one, it is quieter but still squealing. I will have to try the gatorback.
