HI- I have seen quite a bit of talk about this particular problem that seems to be blighting me now
When I replaced the belts last year I thought the supercharger tensioner was a bit rough and it has now started to squeal.
I note that Volvo have an upgrade replacement and was wondering if anyone had experience of these over the standard and an idea of the relative costs?
On another point I had noticed a bit of roughness through the drive and was worried about expensive drive repairs (I have not had good experience with outdrives so far)- we also noted that the carefully applied layers of primer and antifoul had come off the props in only a couple of months- Transpires that when I refitted the duo props I had put the spacing washer behind rather than in front of the rear prop reducing the clearance- this seems to have set up cavitation on the front prop rapidly eroding the paint.
Fortunately no permanent damage to the props just a red face!
