Battery warning light came on Power steering got really heavy temp stayed ok. Luckily I was 2 mins from Home

Didn't have security Torx to take pressure off the tensioner. Used 17mm counter clockwise on the tensioner.

The new belt is 6PK2385

The tensioner has a bit more pressure than my previous M119, which also threw a belt on a 4k road trip, that belt started splitting and flapped around cutting through the small bleeder hose on the top of the engine
The coolant reservoir light came on. And I had to trim the belt back, trim the hose and refit and refill the coolant then drive for an hour back the way I came to get a replacement.

Over the past few weeks There was some little black spots and residue on the engine bay either side of the belt previously, I should have twigged and changed the belt
