I replaced mine quite easily. Think it was £37 from euro car parts. Couple of 13mm bolts and it comes off.

Don't go near the torx bolt. Just remove the two bolts holding it onto the engine block. It's a 16mm spanner on the bolt to lever the tenstior out of the way.

Watch where you spray around there as V-belts don't like it very much.
Could be pulley bearing on the way out esp. if it goes when warmed-up after a while.

I just changed tensioner on auxillary belt not brand new though on done 39 thousand I think the noise is coming from power steering pulley I snapped pipe trying to fit it and the one from scrap. Yard was cross threaded so when I started it first time powerstering fluid went every where got on belt would that make a squeak noise of power steering fluid on belt I have fixed powerstering now might need new belt though now
