  Hello Fred & JR and others.

  My S6 Avant developed a serp belt tensioner problem hours before a holiday
in France.  Fortunately, I was able to swap in the one from my wife's saloon
(took about 15 mins), so the holiday went ahead.

  Now I'm back, and need to fix the tensioner.  Apparently Fred Munro wrote
up a how-to on replacing the bearing.  Was this the bearing for the idler
wheel (which is fine), or the bearing for the tensioning bit (which is in a
really bad state)?

  Any BTDTs or pointers to the pdf gratefully received.

  Paul

  p.s. now I know why the serpentine belt broke last month - the tensioner
was pressing the edge of the idler into the middle of the belt.
