Sorry for the off topic. I replaced the timing belt in my wifes MK4 Jetta 2.0 and I am a bit confused on how to tension the timing belt. The Chiltons manual says to tension CCW until the pointer aligns to its mark. The tensioner has a CCW arrow.
 I can't get the pointer to line up rotating CCW. Now this post on vwvortex says to tension it by turning the eccentric CW. I just dont know what to do. turning the eccentric CW loosens the belt. So which way do I tension the belt CW or CCW? Any help is appreciated. thanks Edit: After deciding that the tensioner was bad I got a new one and installed it this afternoon. once I installed it and rotated it CCW the pointer quickly lined up with it's mark and I tightened it. With the first one the the pointer did not move even though the belt was being tensioned. problem solved: bad part |
