    Have now replaced the belt, tensioner, and three pulleys. Still squeaking. Is there any difference in the pulley sizes? Looked like he had two on wrong. One riding too far back on pulley. Said they bought three new and tensioner. Now waiting while they get a new tensioner in and belt they say is two mm smaller. Tensioner had a little jiggle too it, normal?

    Not sure if pulley sizes are different, but know that one of them has a different installed depth than the other two.

    Do you know which one? Upper right seems to be the one squeaking in my garage. Put a drop of oil on the back of the pulley, touched nothing else, stopped for a minute or two.

    What do you mean by tensioner had a little jiggle to it? In/out? Pulley up/down? Tensioner assembly/arm moving in the direction of loose/tight? What brand did you use for pulleys and did you replace the whole tensioner or just the pulley?

    No. Many posts here with a diagram with the two part numbers and the correct placement of each.
