Hi, im assuming vbelt tensioner and serpentine belt tensioner is the same, I changed it on my car was easy, on the tensioner there is a place u can use to release tension, slip belt off, unclip cap, under neath is a bolt, loosen and tensioner comes off, bought mine from gwm, works fine,
Thx

Thanks again for your help. i did try the golwagen in durban but they say the part is not listed. anyway to update you, my friend works for bmw so he changed the tentioner for me but the nosie is till there!

now it seems like the crank damper pulley or the powersteering pulley could be the cause.. im about to pull my hair out.. i hate this hit and miss story..:argh:
