was always told to replace belts when either
old and worn..or alot of miles...
but never if old... is now 10 yrs old
I don't drive this car alot...but on occassion do
the highway miles...
I am getting it inspected soon...
should I have the squeeky belt [ only in rain ] replaced with the tensioner... or just adjusted again
was adjusted about 6 yrs ago
after reading your FAQ it seems like replacement of
both might be the answer... no one needs to be stranded on the interstate
thanks for your website...am disabled..will donate when I can....thanks again

it has an automatic
belt adjuster
so no need for adjustment
I would have it replaced
and while they re replacing it let them check the tensioner
