hi every1

my aux belt tensioner has magically removed all its grooves from the pulley so now the belts hangin off, does any1 have a spare that they dont want/ need or would sell please?

i got a price 2day an its 50 quid, my cambelt, tensioner & water pump was less.

cheers:thumbup:

I had a feeling that my aux tensioner was smooth anyway?

It is smooth, it runs on the smooth side of the belt. You need to find the real reason for it falling off, you mention cam belt etc. - is it related to this been replaced?

Were you driving along and suddenly heard a loud bang, followed by the alternator light coming on, but no other issues? I had something similar with mine, and the bang was the auxilliary drivebelt automatic tensioner failing.

are you sure its not grooved cos my belts grooved on both sides?

no luckily not, just started screechin an found belt hanging off, i took tensioner off an plastic was gathered up at back of pulley as if it had melted, dont know whats goin on

hello

every1 was right it is smooth, i had a picture of the tensioner which looked like it was grooved but was just where belt ran,

so either the bottom pulley is out of alighn or tensioner, an shes squeaking like a b###h

so annoying
