PM'd you *fingers crossed*

I think my belt is now down to a 3pk!

Yeah that was my first thought when I was trying to figure it out. I will return and report.

At first glance it looks like the tensioner pulley is not lined up with the rest of the pulleys, meaning that the top edge of it is spinning on the inside of the belt and not on the outside edge. Hence why it's shaving the belt a millimetre at a time. I could be wrong but that's what I gathered...

So has anyone else had this happen to their newly installed drive belt? #PleaseAdvise lol

readjusted belt as it wasn't all flush on the air con pulley. Running nice and smooth and quiet...for now lol

Is the tensioner pulley actually meant to spin with the belt like the other pulleys? I'm thinking not...but I gotta ask

^ hehehe ^ So Im not getting the obvious squealing and squeezing noise that comes with a loose belt but it does give a "...kkkkkkkkkkkkkk..." sort of noise if you know what I mean? Did I over tighten something along the way?

Yep. All done and sorted mate. Pardon the noob-ness fellas...Im too embarassed to reveal what the problem and fix was

Under the car now replacing my drive belt but how come the tensioner pulley is bottomed out leaving the belt loose? Loosening the top tensioner bolt to push the pulley down to tighten the belt but its at the bottom now and wont go any further. What am I forgetting? I have the correct belt...

Thank you

UPDATE: I won't bore you all with the stupid details but I managed to get it all done. I suppose thats what happens when its your daily driver. Cant take your time with it, has to be smash and grab jobs every time no matter how big or small the job is. Cheers to everyone for your input. Every...

So loosen that side bolt and push the alternator as far out as possible, stretching the belt out and then tighten?

Managed to get the alternator out after heaps of f@*#ing around coz I didnt know how to loosen the tension properly to get the belt off. So I just ended up cutting the belt and getting a new one once I find an alternator. How do you adjust the tension so I can reinstall it?

Nope, battery light didn't come on at all. Just the ANTI LOCK light. UPDATE: I need a new alternator. I noticed on my drive along that the lights on the dash were dimming, windows were sluggish on the up and down and the high beam was slow and dim. All pointing to the alternator not doing its...

Update: New battery in and started/runs all good. Went for the madatory 3rd gear pull and lost boost just like it did last night before the electrics failed. I dare say the electrical problems sorted but how this loss of boost came about is beyond me. Im that much over this car that I will...

Far out, thats exactly what I noticed as I was leaving work last night. Went for the mandatory boost off the mark to merge on the motorway and it misfired hard like it was nobody's business! Loss of boost in every way possible and thought to myself, oh here we go again? Geez! And then later...

I managed to extend my car battery charger out to the road to give the battery some juice and managed to get it started so it's in the garage getting juiced up. The idle is still pretty rough so the problem seems to be still there. Racking my brain as to some possible reasons for whats happening...
