OK had a look around on here and just want to double check some stuff.
Was driving back from lake district last night and the smaller tensioner pulley on my aux belt (which had been whining for a while to be honest) collapsed and shredded the belt.
the front tensioner pulley and the idler pulley rotate nicely with no noise etc and are lovely and smooth.
can i just change the auto tensioner at the back?
Is it as simple as i think (HOPE!) it is?
i did one on my vectra 2.0 a couple of years back which was a matter of fit spring arm tensioner pulley thing, new belt on, pull the pin out and away we go !
is the alfa the same?
its deffo that rear pulley, there is 4-5mm lateral play in it and its rough as hell when rotating.
any special tools needed to make life easier? and as the front tensioner won't have been touched the autotensioner should just sort itself out right? (PLEASE GOD !)
