if its been lashing it down my xe corsa fan belt squeeks while its idleing until the belt fan dries out. The noise is annoying but nothing to worry about. Change the fan belt (10mins just loosen the adjuster and slide forward then slide back and tighten) Job done.

it sumtimes happens (quite rare) wen i drive off at 5 10mph and its kinda wet outside. also noticed it happens when my blowers are on full. what is it? is it my cambelt. also wen its cold outside and i first start the car and leave it to idle theres like a swhirling sound and goes away after iv run the car in a bit. again is it my cam belt. any way of sorting it?
