Squeaking

[Calscou]

I’ve recently washed my cla220d and there’s an intermittent squeak/ noise coming from the left hand side of the bay
Should I send the car in or is it a case of applying a lubricant to the belts
Any help or advice is much appreciated

Assuming no water has reached the belts then attention is needed at the pulleys etc. You shouldn't lubricate the belts at all.

NEVER NEVER.

Let it dry and see how it goes.

Sounds like water on the belt. If you rev it/drive it, it should dissappear after a short time
