Replacing tensioner pulley 2001 Passat.
Discussion
Got a squeeky noise coming from the front of the car especially on start up. Using an automotive stethoscope I'm pretty certain the culprit is the tensioner pulley. It sits behind the viscous fan. I see from the heynes manual that to gain access to the tensioner and it's pulley, the front of the car needs to come forward - radiator, headlamps etc as one unit. (Possibly called 'lock control assembly' or something like that.) Bumper needs to be removed also.
The car's my dad's. I reckon the job is do-able but would take me a lot longer than a garage. For swiftness my dad might go along with the garage if the price is affordable.
So the questions are,
1 Am I right in thinking the front of the car needs to be moved forward?
2 How long can I be expected to do this job? (amatuer - lots of tools)
3 How long should a garage take and what would the price be?
Thanks in advance.
