Well fitted the belt and new idler pulley and even though its up to tension whenever the engine self revs during idling(IE Rough idling) you can watch the belt flex a good bit even though its as tight as i would want it when tensioning it up.
It has cured the heavey steering a fair amount as it feels like it used to, nice and smooth and very nicely.
What effects the Power Steering on a Xantia?

Pleased it's all good again KP
The acid test is that it does not slip when under heavy load (i.e. Alternator charging hard and the A/C switched on).
So long as it's under good tension, I'd not worry overly, it shows the spring tensioner is doing what it should be doing.KP wrote:Well fitted the belt and new idler pulley and even though its up to tension whenever the engine self revs during idling(IE Rough idling) you can watch the belt flex a good bit even though its as tight as i would want it when tensioning it up.
