Toyota Repair: Belt Tensioner 00/01 Celica GTS, tensioner pulley, toyota service

Question
There is a simple fix to this issue and I've run across the answer on a message board about a year ago, and when implemented by the Toyota mechanics there were amazed that the issue was fixed in less than a minute when their consideration was to purchase a new belt tensioner assembly at $350 bucks for the entire assembly.

NOW, I cannot remember what the fix was. It had something to do with either tightening the Tensioner Pulley, or Tensioner Bolt or some adjustment to hydraulic cylinder or flange.

This fix worked for over a year and a half, but now the sqeaking is back in force and they're trying to convince me that I need to get a new tensioner..


Please if you have an answer put up on message board


Answer
The tensioner is the problem, there is an updated one available and there is a toyota service bulletin that addresses this condition, the warranty period is 3yr/36,000 miles so check with your dealer if the warranty still applies and you can get it fixed at no cost to you.
