[QUOTE="mdoan, post: 8227102, member: 44126"] Dug this thread up trying to diagnose a nasty squeak. My belt is practically brand new and the only thing I can think of is either the AC compressor clutch or the tensioner / tensioner pulley. The only thing that throws me off is that there was no gradual problem growth. I detailed my engine in 2 sessions, and the squeak went mad after the second (nonexistent after the first); this obviously points to some degreaser overspray, but after many days of no changes, I've all but ruled that one out. The squeak acts like an old belt, mild on and off chirping at idle, and the more I rev it, the more intense the squeak gets. Sounds like a tensioner, but I really can't afford to mis-diagnose this one; I'm a broke college student. Any ideas? Can a tensioner be temp-rigged to shut the squeak up? How much do tensioners usually run? Can I pick one up at an autoparts store or do I have to go through a dealership? [/QUOTE]
