After a serpentine belt and pulley tensioner for same, belt doesn't have to be oem but a quality alternative, I think the bearings gone in the pulley tensioner and I may as well
change the belt when I'm at it.

You can just replace the bearing BTW.

Thanks dave, should save a few quid

I've just put a conti belt on mine. Can't comment on longevity but obviously works a treat.

Think there were other threads where they were recommended especially as they were £16ish from ECPs. Cox quoted me over £70 for OEM!

I just discovered those prices too...the tensioner is almost £300 so bearing replacement sounds great

There is someone on the for sale section selling a tensioner and pulley for £120 OEM

Thanks for all the replys I've ordered a belt from ecp and trying to source a bearing for the tensioner, if anyone has ever ordered one can you let me know please

A new bearing is about 4 quid

I bought SKF 62032RSLC3

SKF = brand
6203 = size code
2RS = 2 rubber seals
L = low friction
C3 = built to tighter tolerances. (I doubt that makes any difference for this, but it's only a few pennies more)

I bought 2 from simply bearings for the idler pulley and tensioner pulley.
