[Engine] 1999 DW8 - How do I loosen the aux belt tensioner?

[Ramasesuk]

So even with brodfather11's spot on instructions I still coudn't find the adjuster! I was mistakenly looking between the timing belt cover and PAS pump. Had to go to a garage to ask where it was, which he showed me for the price of a coffee.

For anyone else struggling like I did:

First slacken the tensioner using a 10mm allen key just above the tensioner

Then turn the nut just in front of the fuel pump anitclockwise:



Seems obvious now!

Thanks guys for your help

Oh and yea, looks like my old belt was too long at 1438mm. The new 1390mm one leaves plenty of room between the pullleys.

Hi you are my last hope ha. I have the same problem but cant seem to undo the bolt in the picture

I am in the same situation
