Yep. I'm sure 99.9% here know that.

Yeah, but you'll find they don't always supply you a matched pair - I've had that happen more than once.

Yes the new ones were a matched pair.
Perhaps I just hadn't had them tensioned up enough, but the noise threw me a little as sounded more like bearing noise at the time. Will try again with new ones once I have a chance.NS SWB X 3.2DiD - Factory locker, Hella spotties, GME UHF, 2" lift

Belts
Hey mate, not sure what the general consensus is on dayco belts but I had squeal and replaced all 3 with dayco and a.c. pulley fitted and tightened no squeal, no further adjustments and been on for a month now got all 3 belts from ebay for $35Comment

Thought I'd throw in my 2 cents - I was surprised at how tight I had to make the belts for them to stop screeching on my NT. Seemed a bit over-tight to me based on other cars I've serviced, but seemed to need it on the pajero. Been 3 months now with no problems.Pajero 2011 NT GLS DID Auto. 3" 304 stainless exhaust, dyno tuned (135awkw), EGR block, EGR cooler removed, provent catch can, custom intercoolerComment

Best not to over tighten, as this can cause wear on pulley bearings, water pumps, etc, depending on the car. The correct tension can be found in the online workshop manual.
There is a special belt spray that may help to stop squeal - Repco & Supercheap sell it.
Main thing with new belts is to re-tension a few times as they stretch & settle in over a few weeks.Pajero NX MY21 GLSComment

The genuine belts are "Mitsuboshi"
Over many years of using this brand of belt for high energy drive applications in Transport Refrigeration,,,
Dayco and Gates are not even close
quality
They stretch and wear much quicker.
There is a Mitsuboshi agent in Bayswater Vic.

Sounds reasonable - I will give this a try and see how it works out - taOriginally posted by gazza11 View PostHi, I recently changed the belts and used Gates belts as they are supposed to be the best. Had squealing noise on start up when cold...adjusted belts....same thing!!...did it again...same thing!!, tightening the bets a bit more each time....did it again...guess what....took belts all off and sanded the inside of the pullies with medium grit sand paper, adjusted belts...squeal gone, and has been good for last 3000k's....Hope this helps.
