belt tensioner issue ... only done in jan , with vid please help

[fishmitten]

I had my belts and dephaser done a few months back and now my car has this horrible noise , apparently its the belt tensioner. if I have to replace this can I claim some money back from the parts company who supplied them ? I think its a gates belt the guy at Renault said that they are who they use , is this true?


anyway enjoy the rattle

That aint tensioner!

More like waterpump that

 

[fishmitten]

That was changed too , arnt the pumps usually pukka ?

 

[MicKPM]

Genuine pump?

 

[fishmitten]

Yeah I think it was mate ,

I'm thinking on Sunday I will take the aux belt off and start the car ... If rattle goes then it's prob water pump , if it's still there then it's prob tensioner ..... Does that sound right ? Lol

Yes do that

If you take the belt off the aux tensioner won't be used, so it won't rule that out. Would rule anything out cambelt wise though.

The tentioner was replaced in jan with all other parts .... So annoying

Just had a quick look , the aux belt seems really tight tbh , it is a renault belt but very tight
