Alternator belt squeek

[slybunda]

Got what i believe is the alternator belt squeek, car made this squeek when i first got it and put a new belt on 8 years ago and it was quite since. Iv not done much mileage but read its mostly age that does them in.

If its the belt which brand is best to go with? All are similar price for stuff like dayco, gates, blueprint, etc

If the belt shows signs of cracking, it's time for a replacement.

 

I think Blueprint source their parts from major OEM manufacturers, so either of the three you mentioned would be fine.

I have a blueprint belt on it at the moment. Will hunt around for offers. I think gates was on offer for around 14 quid
