no on the tensioner, i think its the second pulley down in ur 1st pic. lever the bolt round as if you were doin it up and the tensioner should move round, slackening the belt. | |

think it is just a 15 mm spanner needed to loosen the belt! | |

tbh i cant remember wat socket it is to loosen the belt. but its a complete pig to completely remove the belt so just take it off from the crank pulley and move 2 1 side. | |

yeah that deos help mate, is the belt hard to remove, i.e. can you get it off and off without any specail tools? | |

that isnt actualy a roller, that pulley is attatched to the crank, theres no bearing in there. my advise would be to take off the altenator belt( the belt you can see without removing any covers) and run the engine. if the noise is gone then you have narrowed it down to components driven by that belt eg. altenator or pas pump. if the noise remains with the belt disconected then ur probs lookin at a cambelt noise so have the cambelt kit and water pump replaced. hope this helps. | |

so what would the damage be if i drove the car with the bearing gone in the roller, will it just be loud? and can it damage the engine in anyway? cheers for the help guys | |

cambelt is behind that black bit to the right hand side of the alternator belt. | |

tbh im unsure now, if you image looking at the engine side onfrom left to right (x14xe) you have three rollers on the right and the waterpump on the left, yes? well where the three rollers are its the bottom one, i thought this was on the same belt but maybe not | |

are you sure you are talking about the cam belt, not the alternator belt? | |

Because the rollers have a bearing in them. | |

if it was just the roller why would it sound like a rubbing bearing sound? are they hard to replace and if it went would it have a similar effect to the water pump going? | |

right just had a llok at the car and i can hear a metalic sound around three k revs if it put my foot down coming from around the airbox (when sat in the car), just had a look under the boonet and it seems to be a roller down on the bottom of the block making the noise not the water pump any idea what it is?? | |

remove aircon belt, start engine and see if the noise has gone. | |

how can i tell if it is the waterpumping going for deffinate? cos at the moment all i can hear is a bearing sound but its inconsistant which is making me beleieve its just the pump for the aircon, i need to know before my eninge gets fucked cheersw |
