Will a cucv run with missing belts?

[Finnegan1008]

I have whats probably multiple squeaking/noisy accessories on my m1008. It's difficult to pinpoint exactly what is causing the noise.

My questions is can I temporarily remove belts to try to isolate the problem? If my batteries are charged up can I crank the engine? I was planning to do this on a warm engine so no glow plugs needed.

Sure! Do one belt at a time so if the noise goes away you'll know which one it is. Once you get both belts off the water pump don't run it to long though.

Without losing your fingers, if you have a bar of soap you can stop belt squeaks. OR, if you are able to use that same bar of soap and rub the inside of the belts (again - one at the time) rotate the motor a little and rub more soap.

If it is a belt squeak, it will disappear for a while.
Won't last long if it is raining!
