DS7 Crossback screeching noise

Unread post by Linda »

My 2019 DS7 Crossback has had the serpentine belt and tensioners replaced.
Since then it has started making a horrible screetching noise when the engine is started and the fan starts working full blast. Anybody know what could be causing this?

It´s been back to the mecanic to replace the new belt, thinking it could be faulty, but it just continues with this sound.

TIA

When you say 'the car is switched on' do you mean the ignition switched on or the engine started? :)
I used to be indecisive, now I'm not so sure!

I had a similar fault with a C5 that was the alternator clutch.
