Sweaking Pulleys I know this board wasnt made for assistance in problems but it seems every time i want to do something to the car something has to come up, this time its something little but the pulleys thathold the serpentine belt sweak when it rains which i figure is ok, but its been dry here for a few days and they havent sweaked, until today, is there something i can do about this, will i need a new tensioner or idler pulley? thanks

Stupid Squeeking Pulley, HELP Well I have another maintenance, non performance thing i have to do to my car, its not like there have been plenty, it just seems like everytime i start to save for something, something has to be replaced I guess i should be lucky im still goin strong, kinda, with 120k on the clock, anyway the pulley on the top right of my engine (driverside head) is squeeking like crazy, i was out of town for a week and when i got back it started, its fine at start up but after about 5 mins it squeeks bad, it sounds like a beater, how do i fix this, do i need to replace it? if so should i replace the others? i've heard of belt slippage problems with the A4's so do i need to get a ASP tensioner pulley while im at it? Any help would be greatly appreciated. TIA

I had the same problem on mine [ 98 TA A4 Black.. same as urs 
] and it was my accessory belt!.. Got a DAACO and things were nice and quiet again 
Did you change the belt ?
Try this test, when it starts squeaking, spray some WD-40 on it.. if it stops squealing for a while and comes right back later, it's def. your belt!
