cheers m8y

i can cope wit tht i think....

parts & labour at garage then around £80-100

ter, but it is me ur takin bout

depends where ya go

typical prices from vaux are usually silly prices, so expect a tensioner to come in at about £40-60+

just a case of slackening off the alternator till the aux drivebelt is loose enough to be removed, unbolt the old tensioner & remove then refit the new one

maybe need to do a few things inbetween so best getting a haynes manual if you fancy doing the job yourself, but shouldn't be too much of a hastle to do on the driveway!

oki, cheers ppl....

its automatic tensioner, suspect you willl end up replacing it.
And yes its the alternator belt not cambelt so will cause no damage if it goes.

ok, cheers ppl

it drives the alternator its the fan/drive belt think it run off the crank pully and has a tensior, but yes it will need fixing
i could elborate but i cant be arsed to go find me haynes manual

yes drew i agree with u i should of looked now i look a fool :(

either way stil needs doing

from the pics - and not knowing the corsa very well - is that pully not the water pump pully?

the crank-water pump-alternator belt?

:o i didnt even look at the pics :lol:

actuallly thats the tensior for the alternator/drive belt not the cambelt "i think" but yes still get it fixed

change the belt and tensioners. that will sort it

yup if its the tensionor could be its bearings they go the belt will come off and your engine will eat itself so id get it fixed now

only drive to the garage to get it fixed or even get it towed if its been doing it a while

if its ure tensioner then i suggest u get it sorted a.s.a.p and dont drive the car in the mean time. if ure tensioner screws up then so does ure cam belt resulting in serious damage to ure engine e.g valves, cams and even pistons

i personally wouldnt attempt to tighten it ureself unless u know wot u are doin kus if its too tight it can screw up as well

id get someone to look at it and be careful in the meantime

no its the little wheel thing, i think its a tentioner :boggle:

not the belt then?

ok, wen car is idel there a noise cummin from engine as if theres summat lose n needs tighten, so in the dark wit ma torch i figured out it was this





do i just tightn it or is there a certain way to do it, i belve its this beacasue its lose from wot i can tell :boggle:, but i know fuk all bout engines as sooty will tell u :lol: cheers
