Z Engineering Charger Tensioner + Tunning/Set Up

[Charged vr6 0]

hi there guys, come back to having a mk3 vr6, but this time with a Z engineering supercharger. Its had some work done, as superchip, piper cams, de cat pipe etc.

My problem is yesterday the charger started to make a noise, like a little squeek. Then i drove about later on the day put my foot down a little and when i parked up it was making a worse noise, like it was grinding a little.

Looked at her, and saw the tensioner(the thing that is oval and turns)which is attached to the charger, the bolt had come loose and was touching the side of the engine a little.

I tightened it up and as soon as i fired her up, came loose again. So tighten the bolt up again and it sounded fine, but didnt sound right, so i loosened the belt which turns the charger. Sounded fine, half way coming home, when i would accelerate it would make that noise for 1 sec n go away.

Basically the belt looks as it can be replaced and that tensioner (which turns is attached to the charger and turns it) needs replacing or the bolt :S (i don't exactly know how to take it off)

Rang NSRacing and wasn't no help. Went to the z engineering web site and that is no help. (owned by ms racing i think now)

So is there anywhere i can go and get it sorted out ?? or i could buy the parts and get it fitted by someone else?

Also once fixed, i would like to get it set up as it hasn't been on no rollers or set up etc since it has been done.

Sorry for the long post, i am just worried and annoyed with it lol.. I just don't want it to blow up on me lol.

Will get some pictures up soon. (drove like a dream before the problem arrised, nice n smooth )

Thanks guys in advance

i think my front engine mount needs changing as well, could this be causing the belt to slip (i am just looking for a replacement belt).
