My fan belt is squealing, and it's very high pitched, I was wondering if there is a quick fix until I can get it looked at.

Tensioner needs to be tightened.

It doesn't feel slack at all though.

There should be 2 cm of movement under firm thumb pressure. They do have to go quite tight to stop the noise.

Bar of soap? Wd40 or the likes? That'll shut it up for a bit!
Doesnt even own a 306.

Always make sure you cant turn the belt more than half way round once fitted and tightened, that shows you enough tension has been applied.
