Can anyone point me to how/where I can tighten the fan belt on a vg33? It squeels a little when cold. Thanks

6:35 shows how to loosen
12:50 shows how to tighten

i dont have a service manual handy, but i think there are either 3 or 4 possible pulley tensioners to adjust

In my past experience, the deflection test is not very accurate to gauge tightness...You need to reef on the thing and make them super tight so they don't squeal.

Had the problem on my 92 and had it on my 99
