So, my fan belt is squeeking ALOT.

The belt that runs the alternator is very noisy, I have tightened it as much as I can but to no avail.

turning the wheels when stationary causes it to saqueek and it also squeeks when the revs are too high for the current speed.

I tested it today, parked up , bonnet open and turned the wheel.

The alternator actually stops rotating and the belt squeels.

Whats the problem? Is it the belt still being loose or something else??

Yes, it is the correct belt, and yes it is in good condition (brand new in fact).

are you sure its not your power steering belt slipping? i had that on mine and found it had run out of adjustment cos the pipe pn the pump fouled the alternator bracket, careful modification with a die grinder allowed me more adjustment and stopped the squeak

Wanderer:
Or a glazed belt.
Mine did that, minly because of the mud, and a belt change cured it.

Apparently the 300 belt only goes on one way. I don't think this applies to the 200.

beast5680:
200,s are not the multi vee type whereas 300,s are

pritch:
I had the same thing, and thought it was the accessory belt, but it turned out to be dead PAS pump bearings.
