Seeing that he has the M54 engine, this is a better video on replacing the belts.

Do you know why the noise went away? What did you do that was different than the first time?

I installed the belt "wrong" once (I think I had it on the wrong side of the idler or tensioner) on my N62

It would squeak a bit when I blipped the throttle. I think I ran it for about 25 miles before I figured out what was wrong. Oops.

I must have installed the belt wrong. I just removed the entire belt, wiped it clean and installed it back
