05 Squealing from belt?
Hello all,
Just bought my 2005 Coupe with 40k miles on it. I got 200 miles out of the dealership when I started to hear what can be best described as a squeal coming from the belt area. I brought it back to the dealership who replaced the belts and idler pullies, to no avail.
It should be noted that this squeal starts at around 2k rpm and gets louder as rpm increases.
I'm wanting to get opinions, it is currently at the dealership getting looked at now and they have "tightened the chassis" and the issue has gone away. The work has yet to be described to me, I just want to get some thoughts. Should I be worried about the harmonic balancer issue? It was manufactured in 09/04.
Thanks, sorry if I gave incoherant info

Otherwise she may blow!
You VIN is under 11039 like mine, so it at risk, and mine goes in next week to have it prophylactically repaired.

WTF is "tightened the chassis"? Please ask them what that involves, specifically, and let us know.
