hi, hope someone can help with this problem.
last week i just replaced the fan belt tensioner and fan belt on my passat 03 130 tdi because it was vibrating very loudly. on monday i heard a loud noise again so looked under bonnet and so that the long allen bolt holding the tensioner on had snapped off. i replaced the long allen bolt again and yes snapped again , everything was nice and tight , has anyone got any ideas cheers.

Certainly a seized freewheel pulley, do a search for freewheel pulley or tensioner, lots of info
