depends on what the noise is. if it's a squeaky noise, try spraying water
at the belt and see if it stops. If it does, then try a different make of
belt.

If you do as Austin suggests and the noise stops, it might also mean the
tensioner is mis-aligned. On a 300Tdi you can remedy this with a penny or
washer behind it. Don't know about MPI engine, though.
