Looking for suggestions to solve a very noisy belt. Here is some background info:
1992 Spider, ~130K miles. It is quiet at a cold start, but gets very noisy when at normal operating temp. It's not a slight chirp, but more of a constant screech. Very noisy at idle, when engine speed is increased noise goes away (or is masked by engine noise). Noise seems to originate near the A/C pulley / idler wheel area. Pulleys seem to be in correct alignment, not sure how to verify this. The belt is fairly new. It was adjusted by my mechanic and was OK for a while, but noise has returned. The idler wheel is fairly new also. A/C compressor is original, was converted to R34 a few years ago. Seldom used. The car is driven maybe 1X per week. Any suggestions are appreciated.
