If not it could be the alternator pulley! I had this recently and mine had seized. The garage replaced this and the belt and I think it was about £180 as they had to take the alternator out to replace the pulley due to a lack of space in the engine bay.
Update: Checked the powersteering fluid after driving home from work and all fine there so it's either the belt tensioner or alternator pulley. Has anyone had the work done at the garage for this issue and how much did it cost? Or can I do it on my drive way with basic mechanical knowledge.
Ok thanks - I'll have a look when I get home tonight as it's an hours drive so should be plenty warm enough and I'll have a rag as well to check the dip stick.
Yep pulled the cap off and there seems to be plenty of fluid in there! Didn't have a rag to check against the dip stick properly but looked like it had the correct amount.
Hi all,
Well my car (A4 Avant 1.9tdi) has decided to start making an awful squeal when stationary or moving slowly on full lock!! I have searched the forum and found some useful information saying it could be the clutch on the alternator pulley.

I'm on the look out for a lower valance for Avant so I can get a dual exhaust.
Does anyone know the part number as I believe they vary between estate, saloon and cab.
I've seen this one on ebay with part no: 8e0 807 521 h but don't know what it's for.

I'm glad I've got the black window surrounds as well as it means it will go better when I do a black grill and if I can find some black roof rails I want to switch them as well.
Hi All,
Well I have just picked up an 2004 A4 Avant 1.9tdi Sport which has just replaced a Skoda Octavia VRS. I wanted a diesel (baby on the way and amount of miles I'm doing with work) and also wanted to stay in the Audi/VW Group so here is a pic when I picked it up:
I have a few ideas on...
