Answer 1

you have a spring loaded tensioner...there is no adjustment. it can simply be a defective belt...take it back and have it changed under warrenty. could also be a bad tensioner or idler pulley or pulley from another component.

Answer 2

Belts stretch. It may need re-tensioning. Could also be water pump bearing.

Answer 3

sounds like a slipping belt, its better to have the belt slip a little rather than putting things under massive stresses because its to tight.

you prob can tighten it a bit but its better a to slip a little than to tight.  

Answer 4

start the car and put some water on your belts. if it stops squeeling its a loose belt if not its a bearing or a crank problem hope its the belt

Answer 5

sounds like the belt or a belt tensioner just changing the belt dont mean it was done correctlly
