probably needs more tightening, you should only be able to twist the belt with your fingers about 90 degrees or it should only deflect 1/2" when on the pulleys, if you can do it more than that then its too lose and needs to be tightened.

would wd40 harm the belts at all, if they got splashed on accident? my sister's car has a squeak i'm pretty sure is a pulley, i just cant identify which one so i thought i'd just spray some lube on each one in turn. didnt think about belt tension though, i'll have her swing by again.Comment
