I changed my girlfriends belts about 1 month ago and they are squealing like a *****. I am use to working with a spring loaded idler pulley on other cars when changing the belts, so there is no adjustment necessary like with the Infiniti.
But with her 04 g35x, it is the bolt system to raise and lower the idler pulley.
It seemed easy enough to get to the belts and lower the pulley then put it back up into place nice and snug. It is noted to leave 8-9mm of slack, but to be honest, I don't really know what 8-9 mm is in terms of slack. So I just made it fairly tight and put everything back together.
Now, the problem doesnt happen after every start up, it only happens in the morning or after work when the car hasn't been on for over 8 hours.
On the initial turn on, the car squeals for about 20 seconds then fades away. If I turn the car off and turn it back on, it wont do it again till the car sits again for another 6 hours or more.
So I get underneth and loosen the belts a little, and still the same symptoms. The next day I tighten them good and still the same outcome the next day on start up.
What can the problem be????? Or how do I solve it?
