rattle from around the aux belt , Tensioner ? and how to tell?

[bobbybailey]

Hello

 

I have just purchased a X type 2007 2.0d estate and I am hearing a rattle sound coming from around the aux belt. It is still under warranty so I took it back to them and they have told me the noise was coming from the aircon clutch (which they said they have removed and cleaned etc and refitted if this is even possible). I have never heard of this before and was wondering if they are trying to palm me off with this answer as friends ( mastertech from RAC) have said it sounds like the tensioner is on its way out. 

 

Could anyone help me to determin if this is the tensioner or the aircon clutch. Any advice would be great help .

 

thanks for helping

Hi Bobby. I might be dubleing up here pressed the wrong button. Any way. I have the same prob with my 2.2 x type, Have been told there is a kit to replace all the pully sys complete with crankshaft pully at around £200, Have had all the sys checked and the vibes are still there. may I will go for it unless other members know different.

Cheers Big Pete. PS. is the aux belt tensioner tool the same for 2.0 as the 2.2 !!part no 303-676.if anyone knows plese reply.
