OK guys thanks a lot for the info.
I have inspected the belt and it looks fine. No craks, horizontal or vertical, just some marks on the outside of the belt like it was lightly schratched with something (could be during the installation of it) tensioner is quiet when the engine is running, and at the start up, so it looks I am in the clear for now. As for the Auto Zone loaner tool, too bad that I live in Bosnia where AZ is available on the net only (did order some of the filters and plugs of of them and came out good). This list (as well as is the parent Mondeo list in the UK) have been a life saver for me so far. The memebers have showed, so far, nothing but patience, good humor and deep knowledge of automobile issues and I am grateful for it. Thank you all for all of the help.
