No i did not i ended ul removing the manual tensioner because the noise was worse with it on but i dis not know that you have to tighten up the manual tensioner first could this be where the noise it coming from
You need to tighten up the belt using the manual tensioner, holding the centre and using the 1/4" square hole to rotate it as it is off centre.
Once the belt is tight nip up the bolt on the manual tensioner then release the spring loaded one and all should be good.
If you don't tighten up the belt with the manual one first and just have the tension of the spring loaded one its not enough and the noise will be the spring loaded tensioner bouncing off its internal stops.
I had the same thing happen as i didn't tighten the belt up enough first with the manual tensioner.
