Drive Belt

Postby DanJetta » Wed Oct 14, 2015 1:20 pm

My serpentine belt is about a year old (maybe 20K miles since the dealer replaced it) and it's starting to chirp again. Tensioner is about three years old and the pulleys appear okay.

Seems like a short lifespan for a serpentine belt. How often are you guys replacing yours?

It was the tensioner chirping on mine. Changed at 80k and no more noise.
