2001 S80 timing belt tensioner

Post by rogerd »

When I tighten the center bolt of the new mechanical tensioner, the adjustment tang will not stay "in the window"- it goes back to the relaxed position. The allen wrench hole is at about the 10:00 position, although I didn't hold it while tightening ther center bolt. What am I doing wrong?

Welcome to Matthew's Volvo Site.

I'm not sure if this is what you have done but this is from VADIS. Hope it is helpful.

You have to hold it with the allen wrench as you tighten it. At least that' what I gather from reading the VADIS file.
