Please play nicely. No one wants to listen/read a keyboard warriors rants....
Starting with tensioner top left, over PAS top right, down to a/c bottom right, around crank bottom middle, around water pump centre, round alternator bottom left back up to tensioner top left.ok m8 thanks,hand tight how far do you go?
Get a large wrench on tensioner, attempt to 'tighten' clockwise - this will give the slack...
Is there any special way to get that belt on m8 cos thats the bit that daunts meQuoteI would change the lot if thats what you have. Torx bolts up the side - you can work out where from the new partQuoteRight i have the whole thing from vaux im not sure if the tensioner is screwed but the black wheel is gone lolQuoteHeld on the tensioner with 15mm bolt, yes...QuoteTo change, bolts around side - 2 E14 IIRC. If only pulley failed, may be easier to leave tensioner on and just change pulley (15mm).Clarfy pulley m8? would the pulley be the black plastic wheel?
What further info do you need?
So should i go the whole way now i bought the part?

Has the whole tensioner realy failed or just the puley..?Dont know m8 but the belt was hanging under battery light on a quirk in the steering and temp shot up!
Not sure if it went mate, nothing in my inbox.I sent you 2 this week how strange i thot it odd i didnt get a reply.
We still on for fitting your new tensioner/aux belt tomorrow night?
Out of interest when was your timing belt kit last done?
Good point.
All being well we're arranging to tackle this Thursday evening. We'll post up when we get it sorted
lol
Thats what i have been told m8 when i got towed home tonightQuotei cant turn the pulley by hand does that help?Sounds like bearing seized. New pulley with bearing is £15 ish IIRC. Trouble is, it may have damaged tensioner spindle, in which case that needs changing (£45 iirc). New belt I would imagine is £25 ish I would guess.
Are you ok with spanners? Are you close to me, as I would willingly assist?
