squeaky noise
On cold starts and expecially when I run my AC I hear a loud squeaky noise on my car. I just replaced the alternator belt and I replaced the tensioner and its belt.
What else do you experts think it may be?

AC idler pulley and/or tensioner...if they spin like a roller blade wheel...bearings shot- no grease. My idler was bad...sounded like a bad supercharger. PIA to change the AC belt.

No - if you go through the effort change both idler and tensioner. Main belt also has to come off to get the AC belt off. When you get the AC belt spin the pulleys - you will see what they sound/feel like. New ones will not continue to spin when in hand....
