So my car squeaks really bad from the serpentine belt area when

Just replace it, a GOOD serpentine belt is like $7. If squeaking continues, its an idler pulley, or something is misaligned somewhere

The belt is loose that's why it squeaks.

Definitely just replace it. You'll be wishing you had when it breaks all of a sudden weeks down the road and you're stranded.

Thank you guys. It's nice to see some civility on /o/ once in a while

Get a Dayco. For the price, these belts are easily the best. Also it doesnt hurt to lubricate your pulleys while your down there, a tiny spray of Pblaster All purpose lubricant works well

I had a squeak where it would squeak in the beginning, but would go away after driving

Try one. Then the other.

this, had my buddy help me with this on my miata. Took about an hour and half since he had done his before.
belt was about 7$, I replaced them all at the same time though, it cost like 20$ in all.

I had the same exact squeek too, it would go away after running the car for a while but would occasionally come back, replaced the belt and never heard the squeek again.

I have the same issue. My brand new belt is squeeking, I've tried loosening, did nothing, tightening lowered the volume of the sound but it's definitely squeeking. Also it does it only when there is <5 degrees Celsius, engine is cold and only in the low rpm range.
Rubber is getting stiff is my guess
