    im not to sure on the sporting if the aux belt and the pas belt is the same i know there seperate on the gt, someone may be able clarify this.

    So is it whining straight away when the cars started or on full lock side to side? usually i would say its the tensioner personally whenever i had any belt changed id change the tensioner as it wears out with the belt, its just good practice specially if your letting a garage do the work. I would never trust a big company like kwik fit or national auto centres or even mr clutch to do any work as there just monkeys!

    When I look in the engine bay the pas belt and aux belt do look separate. It whines all the time without touching the wheel.
    I'm convinced it's a tentioner but the only way to tell would be to disconnect belts surly ...
