EARL-Where do you live??????? V70-XC70 1998

posted by  someone claiming to be masher on  Fri Jan 10 08:05 CST 2003 [RELATED]

Earl-only kidding!When I saw that the tensioner was "different", I NEVER touched the dam thing as I figured its the 105K mile design and I have 75K. Is it literally a "fixed" tensioner design unlike a spring loaded? It sounds like based on the engines temperature, if the engine was "ice" cold, you would need to set it "loose" so when the engine heats up and expands the belt can "grow" the difference. In a nut shell, it sounds like of I "mark" where the pointer is before I take out the tensioner I should be golden as long as I realign the pointer to the mark I made-correct? PS: I would never fault anybody for trying to help---so far your the only guy in the last 2 months on this board that has given any "details" on how that tensioner works---I certainly appreciate any and all detail! If I decide to F*^% it up---its my fault!!!!!!
