In this week video we have the skoda superb again where we are changing the auxiliary belt tensioner, you can also find the same tensioner in many other volkswagen Audi group vehicles, in this case engine CFFB 2011 Skoda superb 2.0.
Pretty straight forward but not the usual couple bolts and job done, the job involves removing some accessories like intake hoses and intercooler hose and cooling fan....
Hey everybody, Igor here from Cars Exposed thanks for tuning in.

For anyone doing this job, once the belt is off test your clutch pulley..it should spin in the clockwise direction and not anticlockwise. Generally the tensioner can fail when the alternator pulley is failing.

I've never owned a car that has an engine sitting sideways like that. As you say, a few amount of bits have to come off first, but all in all it didn't look too bad. I think your skills helped make it look easy too.

I wanted to thank you from Belgium because it is a f****** moment and I mean, Audi engineers are crazy to imagine a such complicated access for a "simple" belt tensioner... Crazy crazy crazy !

In a lot of cases the jumping tensioner could be a consequence of the failing alternator clutch pulley, so once the belt is out it may worth checking. It should freewheel to one direction and should drive the alternator to the other.
