Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior bad luck

ok it took me forever to get the electrical prob warrantied and now toyota is giving me hell on my latest prob. my belts squeek and they are now blaming it on my injen cai(lmao) . so i had to pull it off and put on my stock air box(sigh) to prove to them that it wasnt making the noise now they say its not the tensioner because its been replaced twice already, but its clearly coming from the belt area (dunno if its the accessory belt or what) i'm just glad i hadnt put on my aem pulley yet... does anyone have any ideas??? they say its not the belt or the tensioner, and i have to leave my car with them tommorrow.

thx for the help/advice in advance

btw sorry fx man and grand tourin dan(for my stupid post earlier-u guys always help and have given good advice), i was in a bad mood, i had just got my 18's on and then i get this stupid squeek and toyota tries bsin me

that really sucks man, you just having all kinds of problems.

hope everything works out in the end

Could it possibly be one of your accessory pulleys? I know its a long shot, but maybe one of the pulleys isn't tight. It is more than likely the belt tensioner though, my suggestion is to just keep pushing it. Hope things work out for you man.

Sounds like you should get a beer and vedge out for a bit, don't think about anything.

PS, No hard feelings.

ya, thanx for the support all, i think i'll just try and forget about it (cant drink too many beers, got finals coming up ). i gotta learn to be patient, i just hate bein without my car for so many days

I've never even heard of Granbury (or whatever) . Give me some details about it, central, east, west TX. What city is it near?

close to fort worth, i'm takin i-820 to 377 ...thats all i know, havent been there before lol 377 will take me to fm 167 through acton to granbury...thats all i know, does this help?

Thats a good 4 hour drive from Houston. You're in Missourri, so you are North of me. Instead of goind straight south and then west, you are just traveling southwest. The Interstates/Highways you will be on are not near me.

doh, that sux , o well , if i head towards houston(neva been there either lmao ) i'll get in touch with you thru here and maybe we can meet up

toyota once again is puttin me off , i have to take my car back to them on tue morning to fix the belt wine/squeek. they had to order a tensioner because its the only thing they can think of thats wrong, but i've had my tensioner replaced twice before. why would my tensioner need to be replaced so often ???? man this sux, i cant put my aem pulley on till they warranty this stuff.

The tensioner is a recall right? Many people seem to have problems with the tensioner.

ya, but this will be my third one to go thru, i had it replaced two years ago for the first time,then again about a yr ago, and now again its acting up this sux, anyone else have an ongoing tensioner prob ???
