Not a common problem. Seized bolts are due to heat. They do need to be tight. Also try spring washers.

Fanbelt squealing 2.0tdi, is tensioner spring broke?

paxjuly · 3 hours ago3 hr

I just put a new Alternator clutch on my2.0tdi CFFB but the new belt is squealing. The tensioner was new a year ago, but doesnt seem to have the tension needed all the time. It can feel loose, or feel ok but starts squealing . When you move the tensioner bolt, it feels like it is catching and needs pushing back into position. Is something broken? Is there an easy fix or do I just put a new tensioner in? (I know how difficult it is to do)
