Problem: The car squeals like hell when I step on the accelerator. We have changed the accessory belt, and tightened it up as much as possible. On the OLD belt (which was quite new), even an application of belt dressing didn't cure it.
I've searched the internet auto forums, and the usual answer is "change the accessory belt, change the spring-loaded tensioner. Hubby SAYS there is no belt tensioner; he may be right or wrong.
Is there a belt tensioner on an 81 Buick Electra Estate Wagon? Could it be the pulleys themselves?
Ideas, guys and gals? I'd rather look like the TOTAL AMATEUR that I am here, rather than at Advance.
