If the belt/ribs are worn then the only cure is a new belt.
If you over-tighten the belt to cure the noise,you run the risk of damaging the bearings on the alternator,PAS pump etc.

I fitted 1 about 1 month ago, after 3 weeks it was making a noise. I tightened it up, but how do you no how much. Dont want to naff any thing up.

 

Have a look at these depending on year/model.
