I have a squeaky fan belt on my Ibiza and its really annoying!!
My question to all you clever people is...how do you adjust it? I have had a look but i cant find any way of tightening the belt :(

Please help

I don't think you have a fan belt...... they're electric

Ooops i think i meant the alternator belt.

I think it should be sprung loaded (behind the alternator)

so you need to find the securing bolt, slack it off & the spring will push it out. then retighten
