Indeed it is :):) Even with the tensioner retracted its like the belt is 2 inches to short!!!! Ive made a tool for doing mine..... but do Renault actually have a tool for this..... ive never seen one or a copy listed.

Give the battery a good charge.....& see how it performs, if you've only just bought the car.... the battery's condition might not be great. Also the 6 month old one u say u put on.... did u charge it first?

All the oil's you listed are fine for it. Also.... u hearing the whinning noise only when moving??

Why are u doing this???

Indeed it does sound like a weak battery.
