    pully squeak

    2016 b8.5 has an annoying squeal in the pully system. Is there a component that is more likely to start squeaking? there is a ton of pullys on this thing and im not sure how to start locating it. I tried taking the belt off and spinning them by hand and couldn't figure it out.

    Never mind. We plan on keeping the car for awhile longer so I ordered new tensioners for the supercharger and accessory system. As well as idlers for both and new belts. I would think that should cover it.

    Fire the parts cannon!!

    That's how I solve these things sometimes. Just for fun, try swapping only the belts first and see if it solves it.

    well, I figured that if one bearing is showing wear and squealing, some of the others aren't far behind. I can usually hear the difference between a squeaking belt and a bearing. It definitely sounds like a bearing.

    Could pull the supercharger belt off to see if it is that set of pullies or not to narrow it down?
