Here is a good one. I had to change both belts on my other ford probe, '97 2.0l 5 speed as well. on this one there is no oil leak over the belts as on my other one so the belts were just old and making noise on engine start up, all the pulleys are nice and clean. the belt seems to be be put on right and it is the right size belt

. Well here is what is strange, the ac/ps belt still makes a lot of noise for the first 20 seconds when ever i start the engine (hot or cold) and even sometimes out of nowhere when car idles with AC on. it seems to have nothing with to do witt the tightness of the belt since id does the same regardless if i tighten it or leave it loose. I would blame the tensioner pulley bearing, but this car does not have one?! Any ideas?
