squeaky belt noise when wet (rain)

it's fine when it's dry...is it usually just the serpentine belt? Is this a common issue?

Just want to make sure before i replace it.

thanks

Mine does the same thing when wet. I still haven't figured out what belt it is though. I wouldn't be too worried about it as long as your belts are in good condition.

Well there's only one belt LOL

From reading on the diy...looks simple. $30 and about an hour of my time.

I have a RX330, with the 3mz-fe. I believe there are 2 belts on the 3mz, but only one on the 3.5 2gr?

Yep, the older 3.3L has two belts. You need to check to see if the belt(s) have proper tension. Failing that, inspect for oil or any liquid that may come in contact with the belt.

Check for leaks, if everything else fails. A bandage fix would be the CRC belt conditioner. Works well for my belts.

I just changed the belt on my rx350. It's not too hard...too me about an hour. If i have to do it again maybe 30mins.

I found this to be helpful.
