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?

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?

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...
