squealing belt, '87 300sdl
New Continental belt on engine now, less than 200miles since replacement. After removing old belt found idler pulley bearing on tensioner ok, water pump and alternator turn freely; the squeal, is the belt; using a squirt bottle, engine running, I can spray a little water on the underside of the belt, squeal goes away immediately but comes back soon. I don't want to use retail "belt dressing" to treat the symptom, would prefer to treat the source. Anybody know the source???
