Got very luck...........drove 200 miles the other day. I have noticed a slight squeal upon first start up, thought it was just the colder weather as it went away. This belt is only miles from coming off. Yikes!

I recommend replacing that pulley, looks like it's really rusty. Where do you stay? I would also recommend replacing the idler and the water pump pulley if you haven't done so recently. Cheap preventative maintenance. Good thing you caught it, I look at my engine every time I drive my car, lol.

Yes, all will be replaced including belt tomorrow. Luckily I am home and the car won't be driven until replaced. I'm sure they're all original.

I would also replace the supercharger bearing while you're doing all the work.
