charlierh2 Posted December 5, 2004 Share Posted December 5, 2004 check the tension, it should feel pretty tight... if something wasnt tightened it may be slipping and burning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mentis Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 Smell is too tight...squell is too loose. Sweet tipsSo why is there a smell when it's too tight? I seem to be having this issue, after it started squeeling a little, I tightened it and then started noticing a smell later. However, I did not even realize that I could have tightened the belt too much. So why does is do that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phillip Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 Were your hands greasy, or could you have spilled any lubricant on the belts? after i installed new belts on my 2000 subaru legacy gt i am smelling what smells like the belts...is this a problem or is this just normal with new belts for a while?
