Re: Follow up: Re: Auxiliary Drive Belt Tensioner - Help !! 850 1995

Nathan,

This might help you..

Dealer recommended to me that I replace the serptine belt..after dealer installed the belt..i would hear screaching noise when it would be cold..

dealer recommended that belt tensioner was bad..I got that replaced too for $235..next day in cold weather ..the same sound started appearing..

turns out that the serptine belt that was replace was not routed correctly and a wrong belt was put on...apparently there is a bulletein that when replacing the belt ..it has to routed differently than the original belt..

I had kept the old tensioner and told the dealer to put it back and noise has never come back..

yes there was a little motion in the belt tensioner before i replace the belt..but dealer told me that belt tensioner usually don't go that fast..

so before you replace the tensioner..try replacing the belt with the right one..

i had 55000 miles on my car..

hope this helps..
