VT V8 Gen3 noise near top pulley and radiator hose

[bails]

Have a noise located to the left of radiator hose, from the belt pulley, makes an annoying noise what could this be? It is a 2000 VT V8 Gen3 .

sounds like it could be the tensioner bearing maybe on its way out

If you have a long screwdriver with engine running (BE CAREFUL) put the end of it on the bolt head or the centre and listen you will hear it rubbling away


Just my 2 cents (somewhere to start :yeah: :yeah: )
