Bimetallic washers in tensioner

[riber.bentsen]

Hi all

I'm rebuilding my tensioner, and I don't trust my PO judging by some other hack-jobs around the car, so I would really appreciate it if one of you could tell me the correct order of the washers in the tensioner.

The only picture I have been able to find is this one, snatched from 928intl.com:

My advice :

Toss that thing in the 'parts never to use again' box and get a Porkentensioner . Really. (honestly!)

But if you really need to use that the stack can be found in the PDF Workshop manual set, volume 1 page 15-22

I'm not tossing it, as I'm an original-freak (Just tossed a very nice Pioneer HU in advance of a 24 year-old Blaupunkt radio that plays casettes..)

Also, I'm in the good old 'yuurp (Europe) and need my car ASAP. No time for shipping :S

Where can I find that PDF Workshop manual?

I just removed my tensioner for rebuild, so I can take a picture of it if you would like. However, a few of the washers fell off the back of the shaft when I took it apart, but I am pretty sure I put it back together properly.

make sure to refernce the WSM for proper fitment there are early and later tensioners with different stacking but they all have sets of 5 washers

Found the PDF WSM, so no problem.

Thanks..
