Need your help, noise ?
I have a 99 coupe, local dealer has replaced two top engine tensioners & still have the same problem. When you first start the car with the ac on all sorts of chatter,squeaks,vibration, damn noise, thus replace the top tensioner. After the car warms no noise until it cools & you start the engine, ac not on, guess what, no noise ! Help please !

The AC has its own tensioner and idler pully. Either one of these could be making the noise along with the idler on the main belt. All the pullies are the same little wheel on a bearing, doesn't make any difference if it's is an idler or tensioner.

After the second trip for the same part, I spoke with the service mgr he said there were two tensioner & two different pulleys any or all could be causing the problem. Ok, then why replace thr same part twice,easy to get to ?
