Are you up to date with the Aux belt recalls ? what type of tensioner have you got , the hydraulic one which you wind back with a big ring spanner or the later mechanical one which you put a Torx 60 tool in to rotate it back?

If the later then the Aux. belt needs changing at 54000 , 108000, 162000 miles etc and the Tensioner every 108000 miles / 10 years together with the cambelt kit .

If you have the hydraulic tensioner , it's been neglected , get it to the dealer immediately for the recall ...where they change it to the mechanical type ,
