2007 Toyota Prius. 170k miles

Kind of a long story

So ijus bougt this prius. When i got the ppi, they said the belt is starting to crack. Okay no problem easy fix.

So i changed the belt, but it was too loose. At first i thought bought the wrong size even after i compared them, so i went and bought another one

Same issue. Too loose

So i figured either im just doing it wrong, or i need a new tensioner

I had a guy who "specializes" in prius' come check it out, and he wrapped the belt UNDER the middle pulley, not OVER. He kept insisting that its no problem and its fine

Chat, am i cooked?
