Thats nearly new aswell.

I dont understand why the old belt doesnt squeak!

--- End quote ---
is the belt slipping or it is actually moving and squeaking while it moves?

Mark_Solesbury:
Its hard to tell..

Its turning, and the alternator light is not on so it must going quick enough for that to charge.

It sounds horrible! It looks to be sitting square on all of the pullys

davidlandy:
give the tensioner a little slap with the hammer so that it gives a little more tension. dont spray wd40 or anything like that onto it.

BM52:
hi there

I had the same problem after i put on a new belt. I 'slapped' the tensioner, greased it, checked alignment, used the penny trick and then bought a new one.........

the wheel bearing was shot, now i have a quiet belt.

regards

Mark_Solesbury:
The bearing in the tensioner is only 6 months old max.

Ill check it tomorrow.

It still doesnt explain why the old one is quiet!
