Hi all-
I have an 05 Golf TDI and been having a lot of belt chatter and groaning during turning. I already swapped out the belt and changed the tensioner thinking I could get away with a cheap fix. After inspecting the alternator pulley, it appears that it turns the alternator in both directions (I could visually see the fan blades inside the alternator turn each way). I am assuming that this means that the pulley is seized up? I just want confirmation before I start wrenching.....
Thanks in advance,
Benjie
