Hi everybody, new to the forum, I have a 2002 1.9 converted to a freezer van.
First problem I have had since Ive had the van, drive belt went on me yesterday. mamged to limp it home and get the remains of the old belt untangled and stripped off (didnt go completely just tore itself to bits and left a thin band stilll attached.
Now I am attempting to fit a new belt but am having a problem witht the tensioner. Im not sure how far I need to push it back in order to get the pin in to hold it whilst I put on the belt. I have made the little tool up suggested in the hayne manual and have pushed the tensioner from almost horizontal round to the engine mount then slowly let it slip back whilst trying to insert the pin. No good!!!
Any suggestions?
thanks in advance, Karl
