So after a hectic autumn of work allowing precisely zero time to address this... I have ordered the parts today and hope to fix it this weekend fingers crossed!
To resurrect a little... any pearls of wisdom on changing the aux belt pulleys and tensioner? I have ordered these as well as I would rather just know they're good. It looks a tad tight just glancing down there behind the rad... I'm not going to have to do anything silly and strip the front end am I? Last car I did this on was an A6 4.2 and that needed the whole bumper off and subframe / carrier slid forward to get access.
Any insights appreciated... looking forward to having it alive again so that it can be fired up on the first crisp dry morning!
Cheers
Chris
