Hi there guys this car is financially and emotionally ruining me but i love it so we power through it. Having fixed a car in limp mode i no suspect i gave a tensioner pulley on the way out. Just wondering how is this job to do and is my suspicions right ? Based on video ? Cheers H. 

Video is not working for me. Anyone else?

 

Maybe that will work. Youtube link Apologies.

Have you had a quote from your garage? 

The video is so short and localised it’s difficult to say for sure, I’d check the alternator clutch pulley as when they start to go (which is common) you see the tensioner trying to compensate just like this. That said it could be the tensioner, but you’ll know when you take the tensioner off, if it still has good spring tension it’s going to be the clutch pulley (£30 ish). Loads of videos online showing how to change if you’re up for it.
