Review on Dayco Black Poly Rib Belt - Model 5060885 by Ameer Kobblewood

At the same time the tensioner, idler (the cause of the squeak) and the belt were replaced. Driven less than 100km and the knocking came back. Yes I checked the alignment of all the pulleys when replacing the belt and other pulleys. Tricked the water and said the belt wasn't stretched enough. I checked the voltage, everything is fine. I gave up and went to a mechanic I trusted. I told him everything I had done and the first thing he asked was what brand of belt I was using. When I told him he said "That's your problem." He told me to get the well known American brand "G%#^S" and that would stop the screeching. I did as he said and the screeching stopped for 3000 miles and counting. This belt is of very poor quality. Spend a few bucks more and buy a higher quality belt.
