It may just need to be tightened. Does the belt look cracked or shiny and glazed from slipping? If so it should be replaced.

I literally just fixed this exact problem on my car today. My belts were just a little too loose. I read in a some thread here that being able to give them 1/4 of a turn is about the right tension.

In my case, the belts were brand new, and I think they may have just stretched out and broken in a little bit. Anyways, hopefully, the answer will be that simple for you!

There is a good how-to in the Alternator section that illustrates where the bolt is you need to tighten. Good luck!

belt.................

Re: Noisy, squeeky belt when not warmed up.
 

Agreed.... inspect then tighten that belt up. It takes maybe 5 minutes and will be maybe the easiest thing you ever do under the hood of an SVX :D

I have the same problem, but I seem to be missing that bolt. Does anyone know which part # it is?

did you loose the bolt?

Since the bolt has to be there for the tentioner idler pully, how could it be gone:confused:

I will get a bolt # for you.

Thanks! I'm finding that the previous owner had a couple of strangely missing parts (engine covers, of course).

So wait its the long tensioner bolt that pulls the pully assy up?? (Cant open your adobe pif, my comp is being a jerk) Yeah the absence of engine covers can also be attributed to lazy or senile mechanics, I remember when I managed a shop in north tahoe my techs had built up a nice collection of audi and mercedes splash guards from various oil changes :lol:
