Can anyone tell me or give me a link on how to set the tension on my A/C belt? I've searched but can't find anything that tells you clearly how to do it.

Car is 1995 DC2 VTi-R.

thanks.

need an extension for your ratchet and I think it is a 10 or 12mm socket and if you look under the power steeing pump and above the Air con pump from the front of the car you will see a bolt.

turn clockwise and it levers the tensioner pully up on the belt and tightens it

Probably the worst photo ever attached, but that is looking from the manifold side above the radiator.

on my b18 its a 12mm to unlock the bottom bolt and an 8mm to turn the threading.
