Over lunch today I threw on a short belt that I had from our other 9-5 since things were opened up. Couple notes:
- the tensioner only had to rotate a fraction of the distance as when using the long belt...nearly at the point that the locking pin (allen key) holds it 'open'
- now the sounds is less rattly/metallic and distinctly whining. It is engine speed dependent and goes up with the increased speed of the motor
Now I'm thinking alternator. NOOOO. Can't bear to do that again. It is a Bosch remanufactured unit from eEuro. Might just switch out the upper idler and tensioner to eliminate them. It is odd to me that the sound is different with the short belt.
