The belt tensioner pulley, may have one, will have a look later.

If no joy with Donk, talk to Carlos, just ordered a couple of pulleys from him

If you give it a bit of spit & a wipe you should see the original part number on too, I speak from experience this very week

Take first belt off and double check what making noise.In my case that was A/C bearing.Most peoples told me I have to change A/C compresor but I found one guy one ebay.com with bearing for 30 $(only one person selling them lol).So hopfully this gonna work.30 $ vs 250 £ for compresor is worth it to try.Goodluck;)

Thanks for the advice, 99% sure its this idler as I had the big screwdriver on all the parts, alternator, air con, idler etc and the noise is most apparent on the idler.

Good to see Jay this morning, but it wasn't the tensioner bearing making the noise. Its the water pump bearing thats shot, nice job for Panic sometime soon

Good to see you again buddy, I have a feeling that I maybe back soon for some of the items that are in your garage!!!
