Official TVS Thread!!!
#579
So ever since I've put my TVS on I've been battling a belt squealing problem when the car is cold. Once it's warm it stops. I've checked to make sure the belt is on straight, changed the tensioner pulley and changed the belt. If I rub a little WD40 on the belt when it's running it will stop squealing for a few seconds but then come back. The new belt stopped the noise for about a week but now it's back. I got my TVS from OTTP with the pulley on. Perhaps it's possible the pulley is on backwards? Does someone have a pic of what the proper way to put the pulley on is? I'm running out of ideas!

FYI, when i went to get tuned with my TVS i started hearing a squeal. i checked to make sure it was on straight 3 or 4 times. went by the auto parts store with ATLsilverss in the car tuning it, bought some belt dressing and hosed it down. it quieted down for about a minute, then i took the car out to make a pull for the data log.
i hear the belt squeal really bad, then BAM! sounds like it popped off and hit my hood. i pulled over, and found that a small metal tab that is supposed to hold some metal tubing came off, and was digging into the belt and chewed off a rib of the belt.
i can take pics if ya need to show where that tab is.

its because of the tension on the belt. 90% of the time when we have a squeal in the shop its always the belt they strech and make noise. If u can spray dressing or anything on the belt and it goes away its the belt, not a pulley. Get the over sized tensioner pulley from zzp or go to the parts store and buy the GTP tensioner pulley since its the same your noise will go away

wut were tryin to say is its prolly the pulley and not ur belt...u can either replace jus the pulley with another stock 1 from advanced auto or u can jus get the oversized pulley and put the stock belt back on..ur belt is most likely not the cause of the squeel

Did it happen instantly after installing the TVS? or just sometime after the TVS? With your intelligence level, the 2nd tensioner you put on could have been installed wrong or something. Look into that. And why not just try a stock belt? What's it gonna hurt? But i'm 17..... what do i know
