Aygo belt tensioner issue

Hi, I have a 2007 Toyota Aygo with a gasoline engine, and my belt-handover no longer works. I suspect it might be the belt tensioner itself that's defective. Does anyone have any experience with this?

Summary of the thread

A 2007 Toyota Aygo owner is experiencing issues with the belt handover, suspecting a defective belt tensioner. A similar problem was shared by another person with a different car, where a faulty serpentine belt tensioner pulley caused noise issues. The recommendation is to have the tensioner checked by a mechanic to confirm the diagnosis and proceed with necessary repairs.

I had a similar issue with my old Opel Corsa. The serpentine belt tensioner pulley went bad, causing a horrendous belt squeal and engine noise. It's like a rubber band that’s lost its elasticity; it can’t keep things tight anymore.

Interesting. How did you figure out it was the tensioner and not something else, like the idler pulley?

The mechanic confirmed it. The belt bringer/handover on the tensioner was indeed defective. Given your Aygo's mileage, it might be worth getting it checked at a workshop; the repair eventually cost me 455€.

Thanks for the info! I'll get it checked out. I really appreciate it!
