Hi,after driving through a flooded road,just under a meter in depth,my car seems to be making a dry horrible noise. I have my suspicions it is the tensioner pulley bearings. How are these removed? and how much would it cost roughly?

Check your alternator to........

idle bearing's are easy, but last time I looked into it, they were gen only...

I removed the alternator belt and started it,was still making the same horrible noise. It seems everything for a GV is genuine . Any idea how much i'd be up for roughly?

No to price...

Could be the idler for the a/c p/s, just hope it's not the water pump......

Im not liking the sound of water pump! I hear they are a pain,so i have been told anyway.

Yep, just thought about it. cant be w/pump if the alt belt was off..

The idle for the a/c is quite low, so likely that's your noise, take the belt off O spin the idle, see if you can feel notchy yuk, then you've found it...
