Squealing belt and/or pulley

Hmmm I will keep an eye on the aircon bearing now too.

Yeah the air con is in the worst spot. Too low, and it cops all the dust and dirt.

Do any of those protection plates like the Brown davis cover up that gap that at least protects that exposed bottom engine front area from instant mud/water splash ???

[mudski]

If it's anything like the plate I have. No.

Would any supplier/brand of belt and tensioner be fine or should it be genuine only

[mudski]

Personally speaking. OEM. Especially on the tensioner. The belt OEM is better, but I am running a Gates belt right now and its been good for 12months so far.

check the pulley on the end of the alternator, mine gave a slight whine but with a few revs went away.
Then it snapped off on Hume coming home from the Murray.
No warning signs at all

Go easy with the belt grip too

Oh man, I've never thought this could happen! How do you avoid something like this?!

it will be the belt tensioner,mine had a leak in the small shock absorber which made it click back and forward and squeal would disapear.
