Been searching the forum but can't seem to figure out what has gone wrong on my 2005 182FF. Recently changed my alternator after it died and all seemed to be going just fine for about a week then today I took her for a spin and I'm sure I felt something go under the car and then could hear a squeaking coming from the engine. Then noticed my temperature was maxed out and when I tried to turn the steering wheel it made an even louder squeaking nose and the steering judders quite strongly. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Perfect timing as I've arranged for it to be viewed tomorrow as I'm selling it but that seems unlikely now!

Yeah it does sound like it could be both! It turns over and revs just fine it seems but makes a dreadful racket!
Water pump is on the aux belt.
Check aux belt for its tension my guess is it will have failed or be slack.
Try looking down to see if tensioner spring has failed.
You're exactly right! The aux belt is slack. Think I can navigate the forum now and fix this. Thank you William ?
Plenty of guides on here.
Try just slackening tensioner bolts it might tension back up.
An torque to correct settings.
172/182 Torque Wrench Settings
Can we progressively populate this guide with torque wrench settings so we have a one stop place for all know torque settings: Engine Inlet Pulley (dephaser): 100nm (Fred does them to 125nm as he doesn't trust it) Exhaust Pulley: 30nm + 86deg (that normally equates to 125nm) Idlers: 55nm...
