    New F355 owner here, and I've been searching around the internet to see if squeaky belts after a major service is a big deal or do they just need to be broken in? I couldn't find anything. I cant get my mechanic to look at the car just yet and I just want to drive my 'new' car. So I guess the question is, is it normal to have to break in the belts after a major service (just deal with the noise and it will go away) or should I not drive the car until I can get my mechanic to look at it? Sorry if this is a dumb question and glad to be part of the community!

    No the belts are loose.
    Need to check them one at a time
    Alternator is easiest to tighten
    VERY important fact tensioner bolt is backwards

    Looks like it was a loose exhaust pipe. Ha. It totally sounded like a belt I swear! My mechanic found a miss fire on idle so still no driving it :(
