Title: Billy Bodger strikes again.
Post by: ferretjuggler on August 04, 2011, 03:19:40 PM

Not jeep related but....................
Anyone know how to set the cambelt tensioner on a Citroen/Peugeot TUD5 diesel engine :017: :017:

I think I overtensioned mine 'cos the already worn tensioner spewed its little bearing balls and fetched the belt off :icon_eek: :icon_eek: :icon_eek:

So I just fitted a S/H tensioner and re-timed it using the old  scored belt.

FFS, I GOT AWAY WITH IT !!!!!!:098: :098: :098:

Drives perfect, (well as good as it's ever been) and no lumpy tickover or misfiring either.

Now I gotta find a new belt and a way to correctly tension the little bugger.
I got a Haynes Manual (#3014) wot claims to cover it, does it bollocks, it only covers the 1.4D
Apparently the correct Haynes is #1885 but I'm wary of paying out £22 for something probably as useful as a chocolate teapot.

This might make sense to you. It's regards a Peugeot 106 but the engine number is the same...
