Hi,
Apologies if this is covered elsewher, but i need to replace the above, on my car. Am having a nightmare finding a haynes manual for the car and wonder if there's a link anywhere that will cover how to do this proceedure ?
many thanks

Easy to change.
Simply remove the plug(think its 22mm) which is located on the drivers side of the engine near the front.Old tensioner will pop out.Renew the copper washer on the plug,pop in the new tensioner and refit the plug.
Fire the engine up and let it idle for a short while to build up pressure!
Job done
