Aux belt tensioner

Hi all,

Think I've narrowed down the slight ticking noise on my car to be the Aux belt tensioner,

Was just wondering how easy is it to replace?

Thanks

Usually it is the alternator pulley causing a tick, is it at idle/low revs?

Yeah it is. Can see the tensioner wobbling though hence why I thought it was this?

First time I changed one it had the tensioner bouncing all over, you could remove the belt tension and see if your alternator pulley only rotates one way (good) or both ways (bad)

I got the same issue on my 1.9 tdi. Plan to replace the alternator and belt at the same time.

The weather has been sooo cold! I have been putting it off, as its only ticking - not actually causing an issue - Yet......
