Not a long term solution, so if still squeeling you might need a replacement belt.
But Lisa has AC which has a different set up. As Adrian says, simply release the tensioner wheel and adjust the jacking screw. The important detail is to have the correct tension. viz. Deflection of the belt with a 10kg load. Too many DIYers assume the tighter, the better causing alternator bearing failure ( or very expensive compressor bearing failure with AC).Broon wrote:I have a how to on my website if anyone is inetrested
