SupporterReplacing the timing belts & oil pump on my 2.7 diesel I've fitted it all back together & checked timing a couple of times & all good. Now to put all the bits & pieces back on. I can't get comfortable with the belt tensioner. I had it on & adjusted as per the only instructions I can find & had to remove it again to inspect further & make doubly sure I hadn't missed any locating points & it doesn't appear that I have. It simply seems to sit there retained by one bolt that is not overly tight. Tensioned correctly with a calibrated Snap On tension wrench. I've lined up the 'window' as stated, it holds the belt tensioned & timing stays correct with the belt tensioned & all appears the way it came apart & in all diagrams. I worry what it'll do when running, hot & vibrating.
Is it really that simple ? Or am I missing something ?

Just did mine , its surprising how little tension holds the tensioner on , i think the key here is don't over tension, maybe thats got something to do with the oil pumps breaking , well done
Don't worry I thought the same thing, but I had to replace my front seal after 1000ks and I was amazed at how tight the spring load was on the tensioner. I loosened to bolt and the tensioner hardly moved.
You can reach the tension required with just using a spanner and not a lot of force. If you think about how thin the bolt is you realise it doesn't need much tension.
Well done on doing the job

SupporterThanks heaps for the confirmation guys. The thing that always slows me up is questioning & analysing, always has even with things I'm quite familiar with.
I was going great guns when I got home from work this arvo ( I'm too old for all this ) until I looked down & saw sitting on a bracket near the rack & pinion a machined spacer. I have NFI no idea where it came from, haven't seen it before. I thought I heard a tang when I first started loosening the crank bolt but put it down as another item I knew had dropped. This horrified me, I can't see anywhere that needs a spacer like this.
It has a bore of 9.5mm is 25.08 diameter 6.5mm thick with a 21.8mm dia step 1.5mm high.
I think I managed to attach photos. HEEELLLPP anyone.

Possibly a spacer from the back of one of the belt idlers. I can't remember seeing this kind of thing at all when I've done these belts...😕Originally Posted by Journeytower

I've got vague recollections that that may be part of the hub that sits behind the LH camshaft pulley.
I've got a dismantled one, I'll be able to check in the morning.
...or, there is a spacer that sits behind the rear belt tensioner.

Hmmm, just looking at the parts list, and can't see that spacer. However, I'm pretty sure I had one behind the rear belt tensioner, and it went on crooked until I had it in place.
