Piggy has it pretty spot on there. Also be careful of belt tension when refitting. I was told that when you push it on an unsupported part it should move roughly 5mm if it's right.

on the longest part of the belt when tensioned, you should be able to twist the belt about 90degrees with your fingers

Do u take tension off the belt by loosening the Allen key bolt that you can see underneath the car is that the tensioner
RE: Changing alternator on 1.9td - Piggy - 24-08-2013
yes.
but first undo the two allen head bolts holding the tensioner secure
RE: Changing alternator on 1.9td - Msparksdturbo - 24-08-2013
Ok cheers thanks for ya help
RE: Changing alternator on 1.9td - Piggy - 24-08-2013
one is 1/3 way up side of tensioner.
the other in centre of tensioner pulley, sometimes has a plastic cover over it
RE: Changing alternator on 1.9td - Msparksdturbo - 24-08-2013
Changed alternator wasn't to much hastle to be fare but then realised my problem wasn't the alternator but the tensioner so changed that and loads quieter and while I had the car on axle stands I gave it a little more boost

i actually found it easier to undo the 2 16mm bolts and removing the oil filter and sliding it out that way, took 15mins
