* Help * cam belt guide?

Post by Rattyuk »

hiya, hope this is in the right forum. I have a 93 polo genesis with a 1.3 AAV engine in it. basically what appears to be a cam belt tensioner is loose. i have had a look and cannot seem to find a way to remove it or change it and GSF dont stock a tensioner for this year and model. it has been suggested its connected to the water pump too?

Any help would be greatly received as its a daily driver.

Thanks in advance

GSF are right. the tensioner is on the water pump.

The water pump itself tensions the belt. Three bolts fix the water pump they loosen to allow it to move.
