I know there are plenty of threads about belt tensioners but there is some advising to use aftermarket and some say to use genuine.
I am assuming mine is stuffed as I have a high pitch squeal coming from that area on idle that disappears when I accelerate so am planning to change it.
Who has changed one on a CRD and what did they use, genuine or aftermarket and where is the best place to buy?
Being mechanically challenged should I change it myself or leave it to a mechanic?
I had aftermarket fitted and it shit it's self 4 weeks after left me stranded for the weekend. Fitted genuine and it lasted 2 years and many water crossing etc no dramas. Just my experience .

I went genuine, no dramas.
Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.
I went genuine and genuine belt.

I had a similar noise that went away with some revs ended up being the alternator clutch pulley.
Just saying

TD did you replace that?
If so what sort of $ was it and did you do it yourself?
I am not certain it is the tensioner, could be coming from the alternator.
I replaced mine using a aftermarket one, was on there for maybe a year and didn't have any issues.
Was a CRD
