Rooster2 Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 My 98 OBW, with 2.2 95 motor has a motor squeak at start up. The noise lasts for about 10 seconds, then disappears. I just replaced the tensioner for the V belt to quiet the noise, thinking the bearings were going bad in that unit. Nope, that wasn't it. I still have the same noise as before. Now, I am thinking it may be the tensioner for the timing belt. Guess, I need to remove the timing belt to investigate. The timing belt was replaced when the engine was installed last Fall, but don't know if the tensioner was replaced What, or how should I proceed?

ShawnW Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Is the tensioner resting against the tensioner bracket and not slid over? Might be taking that long to get the belt moving and the slack evened out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
