Has this ever happened to you? I was wondering what would happen (seize, complete bearing failure, causing belt to fall off/snap) I wrote in the Spring that on a cool morning there was a bearing noise coming from the drive belt area, went away after a few minutes. That was the only time I heard it, until a few days ago. It was 40 degrees, the coldest it's been, and the same thing happened - noise for a minute or two.

There have been posts from people describing similar symptoms, and it appears likely it is the tensioner. I don't want to replace it if it isn't broken, and I was wondering what might happen if I just go on as usual. Anyone know the failure modes? TIA Don '95 854T 159K
