New aux tensioner ticking

[Chrisjk]

The lower tensioner seems to tick every couple of revolutions, it's brand new as of 2 weeks ago(just about). I've had a look and it's fitted fine and the belt is on correctly, is it doing it just as its bedding in or have a got a situation?

Yeh genuine, got it from NWPerformance

something stuck to/in the belt?

I couldn't see anything, guess i'll have too take it off again to get a proper look.

Got chance to check this morning, on closer inspection the tensioner is fine, running straight etc, the 'tick' is happening every revolution when ther raised lettering/barcode on the belt roll over the tensioner. SO i guess its just a case of leaving it be until the lettering wears down a bit, besides it was only noticable from the front of the car.
