  • Tensioner gone!

    Was driving today and my steering went. Pulled over got the battery charge warning. Checked under the bonnet and the belts off. Checked the belt, all seemed fine. Didn't have any of my tools with me as I'd left them out of the car yesterday typically, and the air box needed removing to stand any chance at putting the belt back on. Called the AA. They came out 2 hours later, I helped him get the belt back on and the tensioner is gone, doesn't spring back and the belt is sitting with a 3rd overhanging the edge of the tensioner. So it's just a matter of time untill it's back off again! Just trying to get in touch with the local garage to try and get one in today, as I've got to drive to a job interview tomorrow for the best looking job yet!

      Thanks, just wondering what would have put strain on the tensioner, it's clearly out of place, first time I've had to even look at it

        Maybe it’s just worn out.

        Oh and good luck with the interview.

            Tell me about it! Got to drive an hour tomorrow and just hope for the best, can't miss out on the job, so I'm really hoping it stays on. AA guy said there is every chance it's been like that since I bought it, had not long gone through a deep puddle that I think knocked it off

                    Yeah just an hour, just took the car out with all my tools with me, got a bit more faith in it now. Really nice if I get the job, comes with a 3 bed house and a brand new car. So if I get it my wife will get the new car, and I will go nuts with the insignia!
