    Default any reason for this??

    I replaced my old, squeaky serpentine and AC belt with new ones and it still squeaks. Would it be the auto-tensioner (M50) that could affect it? bearings/pulleys? any input will be very helpful.


    one of the reasons I'm broke...

    Default Yes, it can be the tensioner as well as any bearings and pulleys, the only thing

    you can do is remove the belt's and spin the pulleys by hand to see which one is makeing the noise.

    Or, what I did was use spray grease, shoot various pulley innards while car is running and see when the noise stops
