is my aux tensioner fooked? (video inside)



  Clio 182 FF Orange
I thought it sounded very power steering pump whine!!

Maybe wrong see what anyone else thinks
 
  Many.
As its noisy, get a aux belt kit from renault (£50 from wolvo), and while its off check the water pump spins freely, or just replace that too if you fancy it.

Always hard to diagnose a noise problem with a video.

I'm going against the grain and saying I think that could be Aircon compressor clutch. Turn the AC on and see if it shuts up.

pretty sure you are spot on Dan...I thought the compressor may be fooked and when I turn the climate on it nearly stalls the engine...

99% sure it's not the PS pump as there is no additional whine when I turn load up the steering.

cheers for the replies chaps...
