Timing belt replacement, Volkswagen Golf IV ATD, year of manufacture 03

Hello.

Please replace the timing belt on the Golf IV mentioned above next week.

I have a question regarding tool T 10115 for the fixing pin of the tension roller.

This tool is included with the new timing belt kit.

It's not entirely clear from the timing belt manual what this tool is used for.

Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

I am grateful for any responses.

Sure, here's the translation:

Now it is possible to fix the belt tensioner with a kind of fork... in its resting position.

for what purpose this tool is needed.

In this type of tensioner (internal tensioner), the tensioner is pre-tensioned using the fixing pin. This makes it easier to install the belt, as it is positioned eccentrically and is therefore furthest away from the belt in this position.

It's already late. I don't think it's mentioned in the instructions, unless I've missed something . Perhaps we should add something to that.

Hello.

Thank you for the answers.

Best regards: tomsyncro and Merry Christmas.
