The "wooshing" sound is really not an apt description, more like a "rrrr-rrrr-rrrr" sound-sort of like a baseball card in a bicycle wheel. However, the belt dressing shot under the belt at the idler pulley, silences the sound.
Sounds like the recommendation is to replace the AC belt, check the Idler pulley for alignment and replace the alterntor bushings. On a scale of 1-10 with 10 being "better let a mechanic do it" how hard a DIY job is it?. I've got all the replacement parts (idler pulley, alt bushings etc). Just waiting for a replacement Continental AC belt from GAPA-they originally sent me the wrong belt for the '92 900S. Guess I wasn't sure how difficult it was to make sure belt is at correct tension or not. Without the tensioner tool, it seems like like a ballpark-intuitive job. Guess the worst that can happen is I'll shred a belt if things are too tight.
