How can a serpentine belt change at 130K km?
Loco, most of the time! AFAIK there are 2 serpentine belts for the i30. If the old one has done 100k and is still 1810, how can a new one be 1815. I suspect the noise could be vibration of the tensioner, possibly unable to keep the belt correctly tensioned. I wouldn’t be doing any high speeds until that was checked out.

How do you replace an alternator belt on a diesel?
Just near that pulley is a bolt head which is what you twist to remove and replace the belt. At least on the 1.6 diesel it is. I ended up removing the wheel and engine splash guard to get at it easier. I’ve only done it once and can’t remember which way to turn it.
