Hi,
Anyone had squeeky alternator belt or maybe it's the tensioner? Changed the belt and all was fine for a few weeks then noise returned. Worst in the cold from start up. Doesn't occur under load (or is drowned out by the 3 cyl diesel) - just at idle or coasting (something the 1.2TDI does with aplomb!).
I am about to get timing belt changed along with water pump so perhaps it's as well to change tensioner?
