[Mk2] [Turbo] Rev 1 3SGTE Timing Belt Tensioner - Resolved ;)

Post by roboliver »

Hi Guys, wonder if anyone can help me out?

Has anyone had any experience with the "hydraulic" tensioner? I'd like to know how far the piston should come out.

I can move it in the vice to locate the pin, but the belt didn't seem overly tight, so was wondering if its not coming out all the way?

Either that or the belt was stretched a bit.

Hasn't jumped any teeth, and i've got a belt/pulley kit already.

*edit* Found the answer from the 3SGTE engine guide thingy. 8.5 - 9.5mm, so looks fine to me :thumleft:
