Ok so my water pump went out and i replaces it which sloved everything but one thing I am getting a bad squelling from the belt area cant figure it out I have changed the whole tensior puller assy, changed belt because i put a small amount of belt grease on the outside of the belt and it stoped so i figured with all the coolent leak that the coolent made the belt strtech so i changed the belt but still VERY VERY LOUD
What brand belt did you buy? Make sure it has the same amount of ribs as the pulleys. (or the old belt if you still have it. Don't use belt dressing either.
i'd say they should have no play, no wobble. rotation should be easy and smooth, no roughness, no binding. if you spin the pulley as hard as you can, it should not roar, or sound dry.
you've got several possibilities. tensioner pulley, idler pulley, alternator, water pump, AC compressor, and PS pump.
