2004 Mitsubishi Galant

Asked by Jeff Dec 27, 2020 at 05:59 PM about the 2004 Mitsubishi Galant ES

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

2004 Mitsubishi Galant ES 2.4L lost tension, replaced the
belt and tensioner, nothing broken or loose but belt is still
loose. I am at my wits end. I have been working on cars for
30 years and cannot figure this out. Routing is exactly as it
should be and belt is the correct belt.

If the routing is correct then the belt must be wrong. If the belt is right then the routing is wrong. If everything were correct you would not have a problem.

See, that's what I thought. Every belt calls for 74.4-74.5 total inches, I've triple checked the routing and I'm spot on with that. New tensioner pulley is the same size as the old one. I still cannot figure out the why it lost tension...
