Well, my compressor started making the "horses on cobblestones" noise last week that indicates by belt needs to be tightened again. Additionally, yesterday it started squealing each time the compressor engaged, so today I got under to re-tension the belt.

What did I find?.....

One bolt finger tight, one bolt backed out about 10mm and ONE BOLT MISSING! (the one that passes through the adjuster). I wonder what it would have been like to have the compressor drop out at 70MPH?

If I had checked the tension regularly, this could likely have been avoided. Check yours.

It's off to the dealer tomorrow to pay exorbitant prices for a bolt and spacer.
