2004 skoda superb 1.9

my belt has been squeaking, but now its not turning, there is a lot of slack on belt, is there an adjuster on these, is it easy to do.

about approx 6 mths i replaced the belt and tensioner

any clues, it doesnt look likme any tensioner are faulty

Its an auto tensioner, you should be able to move it with a 19mm spanner.

Sounds like the adjuster has bust or something as gone wrong if its not turning.

over the phone, the mechanic thinks it could be the pulley at the end of the alternator (says its motorised).

but when you pul;l the belt tighter it works fine
