What symptoms did you have with your Croma? I want to be sure it's the belt handover before I go further.

The belt was loose, and the engine squealed, especially when cold. The belt drive felt unstable. You might want to get it checked at a workshop to be sure.

Took it to my mechanic, and it's the belt tensioner. Repair will be about 455€. Thanks for the help!

I had something similar with my Croma, though I don't remember the year. Sounds like the tensioner pulley. Did you check the serpentine belt and idler pulley for wear? Any weird engine noises?
