They have a tensioner that automatically tightens the belt, maybe yours needs to be changed or you need a new belt.
You cannot adjust the belt. It is self adjusting by way of a spring loaded tensioner at the front of the engine block. The air conditioning compressor is driven by the serpantine belt. It may be stretched.
Timing Belt, and a serpantine belt
The power steering belt has an adjustment pulley. To tighten the belt on a 1994 Acura Vigor loosen the adjustment pulley and pull it up higher than tighten it.
Put the serpentine belt on to the pulleys of your 1994 Chevy engine. Tighten a serpentine belt with the tensioner pulley.
remove skid plat ,then find ac belt tensioner,loosen lock bolt in center,then tighten long bolt until belt has right tension onit ,then tighten lock nut.
If its from the engine bay, check the serpantine belts, and the timing belt. My old Toyota paseo had a bad serpantine belt and it did squeak alot. Also check all the pulleys make sure theyre not wobbly.
Never use belt dressing on a serpentine belt. Clean the dressing off and recheck the pulleys.
You should not have to. There is a belt tensioner that keeps the belt tight. If the belt needs to be tightened, you probably need a new tensioner, or you have the wrong size belt.
Depends, if your cav is equiped with a Serpantine belt then it is auto tense and does not need to be tightened. If the spring has become weak (most likely not) you will need to take it in to be replaced. If your cav is earlier then that and has multiple belts then look for adjusters on the devices it rotates. For one the alternator will have one etc. But dont tighten too much. Its okay to have some slack, just no bounce. If you have a belt driven fan i assume you have an old caviler and if its not the belt tention it might be a bad fan clutch.
Check under the hood for the manufacturer sticker. Gives you everything you need.
First and foremost, make sure you have a diagram before removing the old belt. If there isn
Change it when there are visible cracks developing on the belt or when it causes noise.
