Squeaky when idling, what is it?

Subject: Squeaky when idling, what is it? Sun Aug 06, 2017 6:26 pm

Hey guys, its been a while, I've been in Baja Sur, Mexico the past 3 months and will be driving 1000 miles to San Diego. A new noise has started. It's a squeak when i am idling or going forward without pressing the pedal. When my foot is on the pedal it doesnt squeak. All I can think is it's a belt, but also kind of sounds like a pulley or something that isn't lubed up. Not sure what it is, any ideas? Would like to figure this out before driving up a thousand miles of desert. Thanks for any input.

Okay I am wondering if it can be a bad idler pulley or tensioner pulley. But my A/C belt is very loose although its never made that noise before I'm wondering if i should replace the pulley now if I can find the part and if I don't will I make it a thousand miles(1600km)?

It'll be a dry idler, my 2.4td has the same squeak, access is amazingly tight, you need the thinnest of hands/arms to access which I haven't......its another job on the list to do

Using this website, can somebody help me find that part number for idler, it's really easy to use this website I just don't know where to look to find the idler pulley.

Also, if I don't replace it before my 2000 mile drive in the desert, could I break down? It's just going to be hard to find the part down here in Baja Sur but I might be able to find it just want to know how big of a deal this is.

Remove a\c belt, unless it also drives something else, & drive at night.
