Thanks for that Pat, the local garage replaced the belt for me during my lunch break, only cost 20 euro all in.

Now lets see what breaks or falls off next........

I've just done mine on the V6, I wish I'd known about the PIN you can use to hold the tensioner in place!

Thats exactly what I used

Its useful for the tensioner not pinging back behind the engine mount where I couldn't get a socket on it..

BB, is that insulating foam at the bottom left of the photo, I can't work out what it's fitted around? Thought it was arb but after 2nd look it can't be that.

I presume it stops you bashing your knuckles off the black bar.

Sorry about the thread resurrection but the mention of a pin to lock the tensioner in place has got my interest. I have fond memries of wedging a spanner c/w attached hand, against the inner wing of my wife's Chavalier when chaning the belt. Where does the pin go exactly?

Car is a 2.0TS.
