Hi,

I'm going to have a go at this soon too (2.0ES). I just eondered. How did you tension the belt. I've read that Volvo have a special tool which puts 30Nm force on the belt, midway on the longest straight run and it should move 7.5mm.

Did you fabricate something to do this?

@ Starbuckk - I used this method, so cheated in effect. Just going to keep checking it. At the mo' its nice & tight.
