My car started making abad grinding noise, drove like there was no problem. Found the belt was very loose. I replaced the belt but was unable to tighten how do I tighten up my belt. I found were it is suppose to tighten but it didnot move tight already.

Your vehicle's serpentine belt is automatically adjusted by the tensioner. You need to use a belt tension gauge to check tension. If the tension is not at 30 - 50 lbs. Then the belt or the tensioner needs replaced.
