Hi does anyone know-how to diagnose noise coming from alternated area pulleys maybe 2002

Use ears, change bits that make noise...……..

Seriously if there is a noise from a serpentine belt & you don't know where it is coming from, use a hand spray with water in it on a fine jet to hit individual parts until you hit something & it shuts up.

PH...great isn't it.

The 1.8 Duratec has a spring operated belt tensioner for the auxiliary drive belt. Take note of the belt route (and direction), release the tension from the belt using a spanner on the pulley and remove the belt. You will now be able to turn the accessories (pumps, alternator, etc.) individually by hand. It will probably be obvious which is causing the noise as it will be notchy/loose.
