    Belt tensioner issue 2.2 cdti

    my aircon pump packed up so it has been swapped over, however the heavy handed have been at things before me and the very poor bolt on the tensioner is pretty chewed so it is hard to heave enough to slacken off.

    Touring Estate Tailgate Control Module

    Hi Grayedout...thanks for asking, I think my posts now clarify....helping a mate from a distance! I think he should check the loom and the catch or solenoid (not sure what this car has) in the boot because if it does not work by plipper or the boot switch they could be at fault. I know my...
