I would check the routing of the belt as you may have it over a pulley instead of under it . If you are correct then one of the idler pulleys will be adjustable to tension the belt. there are 13 diagrams for the belt but in all the tensioner is the idler pulley next to the crank pulley and in a clockwise rotation has the belt going over the top of it
COULD BE A BAD BEARING IN THE IDLER PULLY OR THE TENSIONER ON THE TIMING BELT OR THE SERPENTINE BELT. IF ITS A SQUEEL IT MAY BE SOME COOLANT GOT ON THE SERPENTINE BELT. TRY TO WASH THE BELT WITH WATER AND LET DRY COMPLETELY. IF NOISE REMAINS RETURN TO THE SHOP THAT DID THE WORK.
THE DIAGRAM IS ON THE HHOD ON UNDERSIDE OR ACCROSS THE FRONT TOP OF RADIATOR. THEIR IS A BELT TENSONER THAT LOOKS LIKE A ARM COMEING DOWN WITH A PULLY ON IT. PUT A SOCKET ON THE PULLY AND EITHER PUSH FORWAR OR PULL BACK AND IT WILL MOVE TO ALLOW THE NEW BELT TO GO ON. WHEN YOU LET GO IT KEEPS TENSON ON THE BELT.
the universal rule for serpentine belts is, ribbed pully is front side of the belt and shiny pully is back side of the belt, there should also be a one tensioner pully that is either spring loaded or tighten by a screw.
hey there,that car might have a self tensioner pulley,,meaning you find the right bolt and when you turn it one way or another the belt will become loose itself some cars employ that method,,,,
The easiest way to change a serpentine belt is to first draw yourself a pic as to where it goes so you know how to put it back on. Then you can either undo the altinator tension bolt until you can get the belt loose enough to get it off or you can use a big spanner or a spanner with a long pipe and a mate to pull the self tentioner wheel back and replace the belt. The self tensioner should be ontop of the motor next to the power steering resovior ( small wheel about 3 inches round will be smooth on the belt surface and the top side of the belt rolls on it put spanner on the centre of the wheel and pull up) not all have this depends on the local you bought car in I'm in australia and they have self tensioning belt here)
