Change Serpentine Belt....Now a knocking Noise...Please Help

May 28, 2006 1 Replies

I changed the serpentine belt on a 2003 Toyota 4 cyl Camry. I compressed the belt tensioner, pulled the old belt off and slipped the new one on. Now there's a knocking, rattleing, grinding noise. It sounds like it's near the belt tensioner. Anyone ever had a similar problem or know what the problem is. Any help or advice is greatley appreciated.



Make sure the replacement belt is installed according to the diagram in the engine compartment and that the belt's shape is exactly the same as the one that was removed.
