Aux tensioner or shorter belt?
#1
I fitted a brand new Dayco aux tensioner back in June, now when I originally fitted the belt it wasn't tensioned up properly so i tightened it recently and the tensioner still knocked like mad. Now I have just fitted a new belt and it's still knocking like mad..

Thinking maybe the old belt being too slack has ruined the spring tensioner inside it because it would have been bouncing about a lot, or maybe I could try a slightly shorter belt? Currently running a 1750 belt with standard AC setup.
