I have a lot of squealing from my steering but only when I start up and steer as soon as my engine warns just a little bit it stops but is quite loud any ideas how to stop it
I looked at this on mine today and i cant find the tensioner bolt, looking at the haynes manual picture there is no bolt where it says there should be! Did certain models have different adjuster or none at all? mine has the same problem and the belt is slipping when i turn the wheels but only when the engine is cold, Im rather confused
there's normally an idler pulley at the lower back of the engine that tensions the belt as seen in this illustration from nissan4u.com
note the PAS idler pulley Pushes to tension while non-PAS pulleys Pull to tension
here's a pic of a non-PAS idler pulley. the PAS pulley is slightly different with a vertical adjusting thread.
don't have a pic of mine but will take a pic soon
note the nut in the middle of the pulley axle is to lock it in position while the petruding bolt head shaft nearby is for moving the pulley up/down.
i think this may be the same thing my brother is having a problem with on his micra ...the steering is screaching when you move the streering when the car is idleing.....
