what engine is it?
If it's a 300tdi which I am guessing it is.......Try searching for the 'penny trick'. If you're really lucky then you might find it in the 'common faults and frequently asked question' forum.

A few months after I tried the penny trick the stud that holds the tensioner on snapped, squirting wd40 on it works for a few minutes...I'm learning to love my squeak now

wd40 is a plasticiser so it keeps the inner belt softer and stops squeals.forget wd40 use a smear of vasaline it stay on longer
