polo 98 (R -Reg) fan/tensioner
Hi, I have a polo 1 litre (1998) I am getting a squealing noise from the fan belt tensioner. I assume it’s a new one needed, but I don’t know what to buy (are they costly and easy to get hold of?) are they easy to fit also – any help appecaited....

Yeah...... i thought this was my clutch being knackered for ages 
It's pretty simple to do, so long as your alternator bolts aren't totally seized. beg/borrow/steal a haynes manual and take a mosey. (finally figured mine out and fixed it on a petrol station forecourt 
lol)
also forces you to take a look at the whole affair, which if i'd done at another time would have saved an AA callout when the thing wore out and eventually wrapped itself around the alternator in shards. (it must have been looking crap for ages, and it's simple / cheap to replace)
