next thing I would do is clean all of that stuff you sprayed on. Take the belt off and clean each pully. I would use brake clean or "Gunk Engine Cleaner" and use a brush :wacko: . Then put a new belt on. Sorry it will be your 4th. :wacko:

See what other people say, you will probably get other replies later today.

Yeah, check the tension on the belt first. If ok, then take off the belt and inspect the pulleys........

Sounds like a bearing is out on one of them. If you can "hand turn" some of them, listen and feel/wiggle for worn bearings. I know you can turn the P/S pulley.

BTW, seven consecutive lines with no punctuation of any kind; but I could read it!

:cheers:

it might that the tensioner puts too much tenstion on the belt and one of the bearings is squeaking or just going bad, try to localise where the noise is coming from.
