Default Not another belt thread......

I have started having problems with the serpentine accessory belt wanting to climb over a pulley especially when I open the bottle on it.Blower belt and A/C belt are fine.I have heard of people using the Katech tensioner but their website does not recommmend its use on a supercharged car.Any thoughts? The help is greatly appreciated.

Sounds like an alignment problem. Take a straight edge and make sure the pulleys are parallel to each other? If all that checks out I'd get a new belt and make sure the tensioner is good, actually I'd just replace it with a new factory unit.

I would think that they would only recommend that it was not used if you ran the same belt for the SC as you did for the accessories. I do not see why it would matter if you are running a seperate belt for the SC.

Someone correct me if I am wrong. I am planning on using the Katech tensioner.
