Belt tensioner replaced-belt still squeaks

Jun 27, 2005 2 Replies
2003 Corolla, 34,000 miles, drive belt squeaking when engine is cold-started. Dealer said tensioner was bad and belt was fine, replaced tensioner under warranty. Three days later, belt again squeals when cold-started.

Could the belt maybe have gotten glazed from previous slippage, causing it to slip now? Or is the new tensioner bad as well?


Yup.

Yup.

Highly unlikely in my opinion.
