Title: short " Ji " sound when engine start
Post by: rocket on July 15, 2011, 09:54:50 AM

replaced fan belt last week at outside workshop, now when  engine start, there is a short "ji" sound from engine compartment, suspect from the belt. 

just wondering, after belt replacement,  any alignment or adjustment need to do?

You need to go back the workshop and tighten the belt.

Normal, most workshop do not over tighten the belt during initial installation, just go back like robtan99 mentioned.

thanks for the info?

BTW, any gauges for the belt tension during installation?  it is harmful when the belt is loose?

For my case, it also occurs when the engine is cold like in the morning.

Wait till when your compressor is a few years old and you will start hearing the breathing sound in the cabin. (When the compressor cut in and out)
