Hi guys!
I have a 2008 Volvo V50 2.0 D (automatic). I'm having some issues with a squeaky aux belt and need some help...
Here's a video of the problem:

Looking at the pulleys there is a noticeable 'wobbling' on the crank shaft pulley, but doing the water spray test on to the underside of the belt stops the squeak, so I believe that the crank shaft pulley bearing is all ok and more likely an alignment issue?
You can see at the end of the video I put a metal rule on the crankshaft pulley and the pulley to the right (air con) is aligned pretty well. When I do the same for the tensioner there is a noticeable gap.
But not sure if the tensioner can be adjusted backwards/forwards (i.e. in/out) and worried if I adjust that then the alignment with the next in the chain (alternator) will be misaligned.
Put it on a Volvo forum and they suggested just replace the belt. But I'm concerned if this wobble is being caused by an alignment issue then a new belt would not solve the issue???
Any help much appreciated
