loose timing belt H22a
 

anyone even had a problem with the timing belt not staying tight on a h22? I used a brand new timing belt and a brand new auto tensioner. Please let me know if anyone has had this problem befor and how you fixed it.

you probly gotta tightin up the tensioner

Re:loose timing belt H22a
 

its an AUTO tensioner.. AUTO meaning its saposed to tighten itself. Am i wrong?

Re:loose timing belt H22a
 

Yes your wrong. You still have to set the tension.

Re:loose timing belt H22a
 

I think you just set the marks then turn the crank pulley 3 turns counter-clockwise.

hes not wrong it should hold itself on an h22, maybe you have the wrong tentioner.

It would have worked the first time if it thought you were gonna post in the right forum.

(my most complicated suggestion ever) :)

Re:loose timing belt H22a
 

its the correct tensioner.. i got it from the dealer.. and its the same as the one that came off..

Re:loose timing belt H22a
 

did you leave it loose then turn it over and tighten it up?

Re:loose timing belt H22a
 

well i put the belt on then took the auto tensioner key (the tool that keeps it compressed while not in the car) off...
drove it and noticed it was loose.. so i loostened the one bolt and tightened the belt up.. then drove it again
its better than it was but still a little loose
