Tsi, Regular Maitenance

[Dsm4lyfe12]

New Awd Tsi, What to do ? Plugs Changed, Wires Done, Timing done, Fluids Flushed and maintained, engine doesnt overheat, Nothing looking wrong. I've had a few built tsi's before just this one is a new project, had some help last time but this time im looking to do it myself.
Problem 1: The Alternator belt squeals, I know it needs to be tightened, i just want a diagram or some steps on how to tighten it.
Problem 2: I heard a i loud grinding noise from the back driverside wheel, I popped the wheel off and looked at suspension, axels, Half-shafts, and found nothing, i shook the rotor and it was loose? Wheel Bearing maybe?
Problem 3: I have 5 Gauges in my car and none of them Light up?
Problem 4: A Slight Clicking from the crank side, Not sure, i've been told oil pressure. Not loud and only when the car is cold or idoling
Problem 5: Maybe a boost leak-http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/newbie-forum/372709-boost-problem.html

Any suggestions of things that will help are greatly appreciated, Thanks!

Sounds like you've got your answers already. Go ahead and start fixing.

How about gauges, any links, Boost, Oil psi, Volt, and oil temp?
Belt diagram would be nice =]

#1 - idk
#2 - sounds like you've got it already
#3 - trace the wiring, and if there is none use the search to find out how to wire them
#4 - lifter tick... normal.
#5 - IC Pipe Tester

good luck

when you say you have no lights on your gauges.....are they after market i assume? if so its an easy fix. find a GOOD GROUND (no paint) ground your ground wires. take your power wire and run it to a 12v constant and then take your illumination wire and run it to a 12v when ignition is on. done
