If it flexes more than that adjust the tension accordingly. I had squeaking sounds accompanied by idle-dropping/light-dimming issues when winter started. Did some checking and found my alternator belt to be almost jaw-droppingly loose (although in mint condition). Had it adjusted and all was fixed…better dash lights, idle, driveability etc. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/please-help-idiling-prob/103528)._
