allen bolt on aux tensioner?

[bozothenutter]

does the allen head bolt on the aux tensioner need to be twisted tight , or slightly loose so the pully can twist around it?

 

[Budgie]

Tight. Or it'll fall out.

 

[bozothenutter]

Lol..thought so....but if I thighten everything up will it still be able to create tension?
The belt I did yesterday is squealing on full lock

 

[Budgie]

Yep, will still be able to move.

Genuine parts?

Any oil on any of the pulleys?

 

[bozothenutter]

Was a valeo part, they make 'm for renault too right?
No oil that i can remember.
I couldn't get the belt around the alternator by using a jubilee clip so swung down the alternator instead, I did think it was very easy to swing up against the tensioner!
Does the old rule of 'no more than 90deg twist' still count?

 

[Budgie]

Yep, 90' on the longest side i always work with.
