Car is a 57 plate Vauxhall vectra 1.9 cdti 120 bhp.
I replaced the drive belt and tensioner about 3 or 4 months ago and everything was totally fine with it .
About 5 weeks ago I heard a squeak when I start up the engine it woud olny last about 1 second as the car was started, but also it can be heard when the car is in reverse and most audible in gears 1 and 2.
it isn't as terrible as some drive belts make when they go bad but it is still quite loud , it is more of a squeak than a squeal thoguh it does squeal faintly sometimes.
How can I determine which pulley is causing this ? I feel sure it won't be the the tensioner as its basically new.
I had the belt off and tried the pulleys they spin freely and doesnt seem to be any wobble on them.
thanks
