A month went by since i installed the pulley from A-2. Not too long ago most of the time when i start the car i can hear this loud noise coming from the right side of the car where the pulley is and the new accesory belts. The sound goes on for like 10 secs then everything goes to normal. It sounds like the belts are squealing or rubbing against something...I live in CT, and it is starting to get pretty cold here, maybe the cold weather could be the reason? I bought belt dressing, while it helped for a bit...did not fix the problem permanently. It still makes those loud noises. I am thinking of puttin the stock pulley back on for the winter...or gettin one from RRM and using the stock belts?

Suggestions?

 

its not the pulley, well it is but not totlay. I have the RRM one and it does the same thing, its a combination of the belt stretching a bit and a cold rubber belt not playing well with a billet pulley in the cold winter weather. Try tightening your belt a bit then wait for it to warm up

 

i'd check the pulley, either that or the belt, fiddle with it some to make sure it's tight. watch out for cold weather as it will make the belt tighten up.

 

its just the cold weather. Mine started doing that recently after the temperature dropped here. Don't worry about it.

 

Make sure the belts are tight. They can come loose after a short time, which would cause that noise.

 

^ does anyone have a how-to on belt tightening. I havent gotten in there to look at how they tighten but some guidance is always good

 

there is a nut under the powersteering pump the moves the tensioner back and forth. Just tighten it. The head of the nut is facing the bumper.

 

as far as belts go, i posted some pictures here:
