My CDTi belt/crank pulley change saga - Page 5

All it seems you can do is remove the tensioner arm and pulley in 1 piece, there is a nut on the actual tensioner (hidden behind the alternator), the arm will come out - what you do about the tension itself I haven't worked out yet..

Used a mobile mechanic to put on new auxiliary belts after exist of 120K mls snaped etc. Seemingly you need 3 arms and all built like a blacksmiths which I am not. Mechanic turned crank backwards to unwind belt which seemingly put timing out. Whilst drivable before now wont start and my local garage says a write off on account of cost. I blame my self as I stood watching him but any ideas how to reset all with out removing the engine. Thanks Bruno.

The timing won't have been disturbed by what you have done ,the problem is elsewhere,you have tacked this onto a very old post ,it will only be seen by very bored people like me I suggest you start a new thread. help will then be forthcoming.
