timing belt tensioner moves while rotating the crankshaft

Post by pinstripe »

Hi,
i am doing a DIY time belt change
I did everything as it should be. Everything was changed as should be and the timing tools were used.

Problem is that the hydraulic tensioner moves when rotating (two spins) on the crankshaft. The nut is set to 20nM + 45 torque, and the pointer is in the middle of the set position.
I did it two times and again it moves and it stops 3mm of the middle to the left.
I don't wanna do it again ...not to damage the nut on the tensioner.
and Although the belt is set on the middle everywhere, after to rotation, it moves to the inner edge of the camshaft?

Can i leave it like this - any advice is appreciated.
