You are not looking at the volvo service specification literature it seems ...
The Aux belt and Tensioner on yours is unique to the D6 , it runs the Starter/generator and is considerably stronger than on the other models ..with an equally stronger tensioner .
Tension is set via a frequency reading tool , ie, it measures the frequency the belt vibrates at when plucked ... it is crucial it is within tolerance , a dealer job if you cherish your engine ..

Didn't read all the posts in the thread, having just seen this one. Listen to Clan, he knows what he's talking about 👍
