It's a new belt, that has not had a chance to stretch. It's fine.
07 Accord 4Cyl Serpentine Belt Question
Hi All,
New to the forum, so not sure if this has already been covered or not, but looking for a specific answer. Changed my serpentine belt today with Honda OEM for first time at 105k. Belt still did not have any cracks or irregular wear, but the belt was a little dull and I had recently driven in some heavy rain where it became wet, so I figured I might as well change it since it's about that time.
I jacked the car up, removed the wheel, took out the wheel well guard and fit the new belt on, fit's perfectly, and car starts up, drives perfect and idles about 50-100rpm lower than before.
That being said, the indicator is not centered 100%, it seems to be offset to the right just slightly. Is this a problem, something that should be addressed (such as replacing the auto-tensioner), or could this be fine? Again, everything works, AC does not shake, etc etc.
I've attached a picture for reference, Thank you in advance!
