Misc How much is a barring?

Chiefs Pantalones · 05-29-2008, 06:15 PM

My car is making a long screetching sound when it's running. It doesn't do it when I first turn it on after it's been sitting awhile, it sounds normal then, it does it after I drive it for about 10 minutes. Then, when I get to somewhere, turn it off to go inside, then come back out it does it from the start. I think it's a barring. I know it's not the timing belt. At least I hope not. How much is a barring? I'm dumb with cars...

bearing? I think you mean bearing.

It depends on where it is. If it is just on a pulley, it will be cheap. If it is a rod bearing or something inside the motor, sell the car.

The fact that you know what barring is, makes me realize you're not dumb with cars. However, since I don't know what barring is, makes me realize that I'm dumb with cars.

You could be hearing the serpentine belt tensioner, the water pump, the power steering pump, the alternater, tha a/c clutch-pulley. Gonna have to take it somewhere and have them ck it out for ya if you don't know how to yourself.

What place would look at that, like which car shop?

omg I hope it's not in the motor. It drives fine. Would it still drive fine if it were in the motor?

the temp gauge
try air conditioner

LOL every summer something goes wrong with my car. The only convenience is it's in the summer when I'm not in school, but I have to work...ok so maybe in no way is it a convenience ugh. ****

It's probably a belt, and it's probably cracked. I'm a car reerun though, so don't take my word for it.

Is your gas cap screwed on tight?
I left mine on my trunk lol and drove off shortly after my check engine light came on and i realized immediately what I had done.
I also have heard just a loose cap can make your check engine light come on though.

That was my first thought, the serpentine belt on my van squeaks like crazy at times, and is quiet at others. One day it was squeaking so bad I decided to spray some WD-40 on it to try to shut it up, and as soon as I hit it with the spray the belt jumped completely off, so I know that's NOT the way to fix it.

Barring any other issues, go and buy some belt dressing.
