    Wrench Mystery Belt noise......

    So a few months ago the VX started to make a belt slipping type noise upon start up but would go away. Then it started to happen when I would turn the wheel. Then it would only make the noise when the A/C was on. So the noise got so annoying that I would drive with the windows down, but got annoying so I decided to try and fix the problem. Here is the order in which I tried to fix this mystery noise:

    -power steering pump (helped noise a little temporarily)
    -tensioner pulley (helped temporarily)
    -A/C compressor (much quieter overall but mystery noise still came back)
    -alternator (much quieter overall but mystery noise still with A/C on and turning)
    -power steering pump (tried this again, maybe just got a bad pump, nope)
    -New Belt (uh no luck)
    -tensioner pulley (tried again this time with higher quality metal part, nope)
    -Idler Pulley (installed by shop and they said it did not fix the issue, update 9-13-11)
