belt squeaks - moved

1999 - 2002 Nissan Quest

I just bought a 1999 Nissan Quest van, and I love it, however, the belt has started sqealing everytime I start it up. It eventually stops after driving a bit, but it's annoying and noisy early in the morning for the neighbours! (appears to only be one belt under the hood) I don't know if these belts are adjustable or if they need the whole thing replaced. I was wondering if anyone knows and can let me know before taking it into the shop. Thanks!

Belt tension

I had the same problem after replacing drive belts. The problem is caused by tight belt tension. I went back to dealer and had them to adjust them. Since there are three drive belts, make sure each one is well adjusted.
