Alternator Belt Squealing On Cold Start

[ashr32]

Hi Guys,

My alternator belt on my r32 gts-t is squealing its head off on cold start. when it starts i watch the volts gauge creep up from 12v and as soon as it hits 14v it stops and the squealing goes away. if i quickly put the lights or demister in the squeal comes back.

ive tried to adjust the belt with the screw but cant really work it out. which way do i screw it to tighten it? do i have to loosen the mounting screw first?

Please help its sounds aweful.

Cheers

loosen the bottom bolt first before turning the adjusting screw.
