Been hearing some cluttering from under the hood, so I popped the hood and the tensioner (Which is about 6 months old) was SWINGING lock to lock rapidly :eek:

It even ate through the protective barrier on the radiator hose. The rubber looks cracked around the balancer, but it's not wobbly.

Balancer is the only thing I can think of that would make the tensioner pulsate so violently? What else would cause rapid slack-tension on the belt?
