transmission slip.

Does the brake pedal pulsate? You may just have warped disc brake rotors.

Is this a diesel or a petrol version?

lift car on the passenger side LHD or drivers side RHD then remove the plastic covers to expose the front of the engine ,then look for the idler tensioner right side of crank pulley ,now this is a left handed thread on the centre nut and turn it clockwise use a 15mm ring spanner and hook another spanner onto the end of this and turn and the idler tensioner will spring back .watch your knuckles ?

this model is simple ,14mm ring spanner on idles /tensioner with another spanner locked into the back and turn the nut anticlockwise to take the tension ,also on these models is another idler with a nut and 1/4 drive square after fitting the belt then you can adjust the tension a bitwith this one sometimes with anew adjuster tensioner i slacken this first as well when fitting the belt .

Go here.

check on ebay or at an auto parts store for a haynes manual

drivers one should be on top of the passenger's one

This rattle will probably be because one or more of the bearings in the front left wheel have broken.

Go to your local autoparts store and buy a haynes manual for your car. There is a belt tensioner that is stopping you from getting the belt on. The manual will tell you where it is, and how to move it to replace the belt.
