Auq Belt problems!

Featured Replies

Ok so I will try to explain this the best I can:

Car Octavia Vrs, 1.8 Turbo AUQ Motor

Now my problem is to do with the auxillary belt either coming off the pulleys or sqeeking till the belt is ruined!

So a while back i needed a new tensioner so I ordered one from skoda and fitted it with new belt cost over 200 euro - wow

less than 10k kilometers the belt started to whine when cold so i took a look and could see the belt was knackered. New belt and then 3 days later was driving in the mountains and off goes the belt. Called the AD\AC = AA and they towed me to the nearest Skoda dealership.

They told me that I had fitted the wrong tensioner???? Now I had ordered it in the dealership with the chasis number!!!!!

Anyway they fixed it and all was good till the winter the following year, YES back to the same story belt sqeeking like a Bitch! And belt off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Argghhhhhhhh

I can see my problem now I have taken it into my own hands, the tensioner is not lined up with the alternator or crank pulley, so its wearing the belt to one side and throwing it off. So I stripped it all apart and put it back together WITH NO LUCK.

What am I doing wrong, the tensioner only bolts to the block and should then be straight??????? Correct?????

Any way of adjusting the tensioner left or right????

Help would be welcomed!

Regards James
