I will change out the belt soon. Just not at the same dealer.

He was saying : " Do you want to change out the belt? Oh yes you can and the noise will be gone today. But then again, the noise will come back after a week or two. By the way its an old car. 9 out of the has them....."

I didn't have this bloody problem till my ass itch and I went to him to fixed the tensioner; that opened the infamous box.

And he mentioned that the groves on the pulley might be too sharp which will inadvertently cut into the belt and cause such a noise. Again, changing the pulley was what he was trying to upsell.

sigh..
