Hello everyone, On our 2015 T6, after having a new auxiliary drive belt tensioner fitted, we now notice a squealing/screeching belt sound when we have the steering wheel at full lock. Our garage reckons it has shown up a problem with the alternator pulley tensioner. Now saying that we can't...

Procedure for removal and refitting of alternator for TDi engines.

Went to wash the camper yesterday and it wouldn’t start. VWA arrived today with a replacement battery. After a few tests the VWA verdict was a faulty alternator. So off it went.

So it's been widely reported that VW are aware of an issue with certain year/vin number Transporters that are developing noisy tensioners. I noticed a while ago that mine was starting to sound a bit noisy on start up when cold, but the noise would slowly disappear as the engine warmed up. The...
