Hi All,

Two weeks ago the belt driving the auxiliary systems (AC and alternator) of my A3 (8P) 1.8 TFSI 2007 started squealing.

I bought on ebay the tensioner&belt kit, pls see it at the following link http://tinyurl.com/qfrfea7.

So far I only managed to replace the belt and the pulley with new ones but it is still squealing; I wanted to replace the tensioner as well but I couldn't figure out how to do that.

Does anyone have any idea on how to remove the old tensioner? Are specific tools required (like pullers)?

Many Thanks

Mario
