Very easy. 15mm socket, just open the bolt and put new tensioner roller in. New part is available from dealers and const is less than 50 euros. Part no 9157962

Yes, 2 torx bolts that hold it in. If renewing the whole tensioner, you need to remove cable tray as well.

The V6 Cambelt DVD might be useful in this case ::)

Yes, 2 Torx bolts, left hand side of the tensioner as you're stood in front of the car.  :y
You do know the pulley wheel is available on its own! :-\

Sounds like that price is just for the plastic pulley and baring? The tensioner itself is much more I thought...?

Tensioner itself is almost bomb proof, its the pulley baring that usually fails.

When your part arrives, I'd be inclined to replace just the pulley & leave the original tensioner in place.  ;)
