Alternator tensioner 406 2.1 Diesel

External Since: Jan 06, 2008 Posts: 2

We have a P8C (PSA) diesel engine in our 406 which has an annoying
rattle associated with the alternator tensioner shock absorber mount
where it attaches to the block of the engine. It's really awkward to
get at and I wondered if other readers out there have found inventive
ways to correct the problem and how to gain access to the mounting??
My friend has fixed one and cursed like crazy but I'm not convinced a
new part will be the end of my problems. Any suggestions welcomed.

sounds a bit what i had. with my 405 found out it was the main
pulley.but i did it all and still got a little noise which turns out to
be the fan belt ajuster.when the summer is here i will do it have to
put up with it for now.
