The slipping has been reduced to above 6400RPM, so it's not my biggest priority at the moment.

When I took the blower bracket off, everything else seemed to be good, so I'll leave it as is for now.

no, my first bachelors was in Engineering Mathematics, second one (just finished in may) was Computer Systems Engineering.

but I didn't take it in for the belt, the AC had seized, and I didn't have the tools or the time to replace it, so I took it in for that.

They foobar'd the belt the first time, so I took it back to them to fix it (after all it was THEIR work), and they had it for a week and didn't do anything useful.

I sent out a couple PM's.

I'm still having a tiny little bit of belt slip, and I don't know where the f*ck it's coming from. The belt is the K061098, the smallest one I could fit on there myself, and it's running a brand new stock tensioner with a 76mm idler pulley.

Before the AC went out, the belt wasn't slipping whatsoever, so idk what has caused this.

so if you have the stock 3.60 pulley on the k06198 is the right belt size to go with to replace the old one? Im asking bc I just got that one I just havent put it on yet. the old belt was kinda eating away.
