   as above
   need a pic of the setup of a vts alternator?
   
   not the citroen one please i already have two different ones.
   
   cheers
   
   
   
   this is the setup
   but part 9 the allen key bolt surely will just push up onto bolt 75 which goes into the block? meaning the allen key bolt does shit all?
   
   been a long day lol so its probably a stupid question

   You slacken off bolt 72 and 75, then tighten 9 to pull tensioner down (loosen belt) or loosen 9 to push the tensioner up (tighten belt).
   
   Bolt 9 tends to snap quite often, so some people tend to push up on the tensioner with a jack handle etc then nip up 72 and 75 to tighten the belt.

   ahh Got you
   so bolt 9 doesnt have to be used if you dont want it to. Just use bolt 72 and 75
   
   i was just looking at using bolt 72 and 75 anyway just felt number 9 didnt look like it would work very well.
   cheers bud

   It's a bit of a daft setup, but it kinda works. Bolt 9 just holds the tensioner at the desired height until you can tighten 72 and 75 and lock it in place.
