G'Day Gang, My Transporter has died :* not sure why. When my wife started it there was a bad knock/rattle in the cam belt area. It idled for a short time then stopped. Now it will not fire at all but turns over freely. The cam belt has been changed 15k km ago and with the engine being cranked...

Im trying to replace the steering pump on my 1997 2.5tdi ACV Multivan but cant figure out how to get the belt off. This guy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=In6C08Us92o just pulls the belt down and the tensioner gives enough to slip it of the power steering pulley but when I try it doesn't give...

How do I get the alternator off my 1999 2.5TDI 102BHP? I've had the belly pan off, found the alternator and removed all the wires. I can see how to unbolt it from the engine block, but how do i remove the AUX belt? I think I can see the tensioner at the top but can't see how to operate it...
