Hi guys, after I had air con compressor replaced couple days ago, accessory belt seems to be loose, slipping sometimes and squeeking terribly. These marks on tensioner show it is defo loose, at the minimum or even below the marks. Air con pump was put brand new, replaced belt today for brand new Gates and it's still loose. Could tensioner be broken during air con pump replacement? It rattles little bit when it's under load while air con pump turns on. Still had to use spanner with extension to pull tensioner away while replacing belt. Are there any shorter belts available (like 1-2cm shorter)? Thanks
