    Question Removal of Ribed AUX belt

    How easy is it to remove the Ribbed Aux drive belt from the 2.0L Turbo engine? The Sabb engine model, 25 xnet I think its called

    I am trying to diagnose this whinning noise which I think is getting louder, it only happens at start up and lasts for a few miles but has gone by the time I drive to the VX dealer, Typical lol.

    I am convinced it is coming from the tensioner pulley bearing, so to prove it once and for all I want to remove the belt and start the engine briefly, I know I won't get any charge to the battery or Air con won't work, but I want to check if this whining noise goes away with the belt off?

    Do I need any special tools to take off and replace this ribbed aux belt?

    Paul

    Sorry to be a pain. Did it sound like a mini metro / old mini whining noise? which lasted about 5 minutes till it warmed up?

    I had my ribbed belt replaced at the service at my own expense but the noise is still there? Therefore I am convinced it must be the tensoner pulley bearing? But thats gona cost me about £60 to replace if its not that, as VX dealer won't change it at my request unless I pay first. There's nothing else as its not the alternator or Air con compressor as checked them with a pipe in ear trick and they are quite.

    Paul - I had a similar problem on mine. Got a 'chirping' noise when I started it from cold. Got the Multi-V tensioner replaced (and they replaced they belt at the same time) under warranty and it's been fine ever since.
