Fabia 1 TDI noisy tensioner

[Gman1978]

Hi All,

might be of help to someone.

I replaced what I thought was a noisy alternator, but turned out that it was the aux belt tensioner pulley that actually needed replacing.

Before and after video here, so you can hear what a faulty tensioner sounds like.
