I recently changed my belts because the p/s was cracked and the a/c belt was nearly destroyed. I've been getting squealing coming from the engine every now and again. Although I've tightened the belts, I'm thinking that they might now be tightened down to the correct specifications (if there are any). Is there anyway to measure the deflection of the belt and does anyone know of the specifications that that are needed for both of the belts?
I've also been noticing that the squealing occurs usually when I have the a/c on so I'm thinking it's that belt.
Some other things to mention (since I have your attention) was that I recently found that I had a small leak with the a/c lines, although the mechnic was not able to find it, it's been dyed but I haven't taken it back yet. Could the leak somehow be causing the compressor to lock up and cause squealing?
Thanks guys.
