We recently replaced the alternator, water pump, timing belts and timing belt tensioner on our 1991 164L. Now there's an extremely high-pitched whine coming from the water pump end of the engine. I know what power steering, throw-out bearing & transmission whines sound like, and it's not any of those. It's almost a whistling sound, and is most noticeable when under acceleration.
I think this noise started after we retightened the alternator belt (because it was squealing). I'm wondering could it be the tensioner on the air conditioner compressor?
I remember asking about this before and Alfisto Steve gave me a trouble-shooting guide, but I can't find it again on the forum, despite an hour of searching.
Thanks for any help.
