NWGRE38 0 Posted July 21, 2006 Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 Zed,This is very relevent for high mileage VR's. My tensioner disintegrated at 144K and chewed the belt. Main dealer diagnosed problem as being air con compressor and wanted to relieve me of 1700 quid to fix it !! I replaced the tensioner for 120 quid. Spot the difference!Nick Link to post Share on other sites
