1994 Chevy K1500 5.7 liter- replaced serpentine belt.next day got a chirp.replaced idler pulley,alternator,and tensioner pulley, but not the actual tensioner.sounds like chirp is coming from power steering pulley. im already $140 deep and still didnt fix it. any ideas?

Here is the serpentine belt routing for a 2013 VW CC with a V6 3.6 liter engine:

1. Start by locating the automatic belt tensioner on the front of the engine.
2. Route the belt around the crankshaft pulley at the bottom of the engine.
3. From there, route the belt around the idler pulley, which is just above the crankshaft pulley.
4. Next, route the belt around the alternator pulley, which is located on the top left side of the engine.
5. After the alternator, route the belt around the power steering pump pulley, which is located on the top right side of the engine.
6. From there, route the belt around the water pump pulley, which is located just above the power steering pump.
7. Finally, route the belt around the tensioner pulley, which should be the last pulley in the belt routing.

Double-check that the belt is properly seated on each pulley and that the routing matches the diagram on the engine or in the owner's manual before starting the engine.

idler pulley. very common problem

Pop the hood of the car and locate the serpentine belt routing diagram. The diagram on the 2003 Chevrolet Impala is on top of the fan shroud. The diagram will be a picture of all of the accessory pulleys and how the serpentine belt is routed among the pulleys. This diagram will give you the exact direction for routing the new belt onto the pulleys. If you cannot find a serpentine belt routing diagram, take a notepad and pen and draw out the exact routing diagram of the old belt across the pulleys.

2 Locate the serpentine belt tensioner. It is located below the alternator on the left front side of the engine. The tensioner on the 3.4 liter, 3.5 liter and the 3.9 liter engines will require a 3/8 ratchet to release the belt tensioner. The 3.8 liter engine will require a ratchet and a 15 mm socket for the belt tensioner. Rotate the belt tensioner clockwise to loosen and remove the belt from the belt tensioner pulley.

3 Slide the old belt from the belt tensioner pulley. Remove the belt from the remaining pulleys and pull the belt from the engine compartment.

4 Route the new belt across the crankshaft pulley first. The crankshaft pulley is the big pulley on the bottom of the engine in the center. Then route the serpentine belt across the remaining pulleys as directed by the serpentine belt routing diagram. Leave the belt tensioner pulley for last.

5 Rotate the belt tensioner clockwise again to relieve the tension and slide the new belt across the top of the belt tensioner pulley. Release the belt tensioner and the belt will tighten up as the tensioner applies pressure to the belt. Make sure the new belt is properly seated in all the pulleys.

6 Crank the engine and inspect the belt again to make sure that it stays seated in the pulleys.

REPLACE THE TENSIONER IDLER PULLEY.THE TENSIONER IDLER PULLEY MAINTAINS THE BELT TENSION WHEN IT GOES BAD.THAT WILL LEAD TO LOOSE BELT TENSION CAUSING BELT TO BREAK.

You need a serpentine belt and an idler pulley. Very easy fix, that can be done with a basic set of tools. Hope this helps!

There should be a diagram attached to the car near where the belt goes showing how the belt is to run through the pulleys.
Newer vehicles have a tension pulley which is a pulley on a spring loaded arm that keeps the belt tight.

First run the belt on all the other pulleys and then use a wrench to hold the tension pulley back while you slip the belt on.

Older cars do not have a tension pulley and you had to usually loosen something like the alternator a little bit to get it on.

Try putting the belt on the alternator then slide it under the idler pulley last.

sounds like a bearing in an idler or tensioner is going out.you need to take to any good mechanic and he can pinpoint the chirp.

It's possible that the alternator is making the chirp noise (bearing) but I would try this first. Start the engine and allow the engine to idle and open the hood and take a spray can of WD40 and shoot a short burst onto the bottom side of the belt and pulley. Dont spray allot as this will cause the belt to slip. The WD40 is to lube the pulley grooves and belt a slight bit. Hope this works!
