Euro 3 D5 Cambelt tensiner advice please
Hi, I am most of the way through fitting a new cambelt kit to my 2005 D5 163 bhp Euro 3 XC70.
The belt is on but I have a query re the tensioner which is temperature sensitive. Does the temperature setting refer to ambient air temperature ( bloody cold here in Durham ) or the Engine temperature when doing the job. My engine is absolutely stone cold . In addition, I take it that the tensioner temp selected must be held in place with 6mm Hex key whilst the centre bolt is tightened? If I just set it correctly by turning the centre counter clockwise, the temp indicator arm moves correctly from left to right but if I then leave it alone and try to tighten the centre bolt I can see the temp indicator arm moving Thanks Darryl

Hello mate, long time no hear. Hope you are well. No, I left the pulley on and slid the new belt past it. Many say that it cannot be done but it can and I have No undue forcing and nothing used other than finger pressure. I think people assume that because you cannot get the old belt off with the pulley in place then a new belt cannot go on with it in place. You have to cut the old belt and then gently feed it out in its normal travel from behind the pulley.

I intend doing that in the next week or so.
Aux rollers and belt look and feel absolutely fine but I will change them and then I can forget about them. I think you can just replace the actual rollers on the aux tensioner rather than the whole lot and the spring on mine is bloody strong so should be good for ages yet.
