Ok so if you guys can remember when one pully melted and the other was shredded....yea well after work today i heard the squeak that I heard before all that happened....which begts the question...what could be melting the pulley i swear its always in the heat that this happenes so any takers?

?

The only 2 things I can think of is something else is broken like the tensioner pulley (is that the one your talking about?) or the belt is on wrong but I dout it. WOW friggen strainge....... Im at a loss..............

no its the one under the CAI and MAF

ok then Im taking a guess and its the tensioner pulley.

the one in the front...i thought the tendenizer was the one in the back at the bottom

usaly the tensioner pulley is one on a short arm. not sure witch on without looking and I can look but mines a non vvt so I dont know if its diff.

no not that one the ones towards the front of the bumper where the CAI is its hidden under the MAF

this is the tensioner pulley

Ok update I just talked to someone that knows a bit about this stuff and he thinks the bearings are bad that the pully mounts too. So he sugests if you never did replace the whole asembly (bearings) not just the pully to do so. He also thinks it could be the tensioner pulley but to start with the bearings to the one that broke before.

ok thx jedi how much does anypne kno?

any update?

nothin yet lol

So is the car sill broken or giving you problems?

nope which im glad it hasn't

You might want to see if you can get a metal ribbed tensioner pulley. I've had problems with plastic ones, switched to metal and never had a problem since.
