Anybody here have a Contour? My wife drives one and it just squeaks like a mother hefer. I beleive its the tensioner again, but not really sure. Anybody have an issue like this?

You mean a belt squeal?

Sounds like you've already replaced the tensioner. Two things come to mind- either some of the other pulleys are glazed from when the tensioner went bad and the belt was slipping, or something's a little misaligned.

If it was my car, I'd clean all the pulleys good and replace the belt, see what happens.

It's not a belt squeal. After the car has been driven for about 30min., it goes away. The serpentine has been replaced twice with in 6 mos. thinking it was the belt.
