I've changed the cambelt on my car before (and yes I have a locking tool) but last time I initially set the idlers by just taking up the belt slack.

In theory, on my car (facelift 2.5), I need to set the the bottom roller to the 1 O'clock position and the top roller to the 9 O'clock position as a starting point.

Now am I barking mad or are there 6 points on the 30mm adjusters so which one is the big hand? Anyone got a picture?

Here's a picture:



I suspect A is the big hand but I wouldn't bet my engine on it

Im with jasonH on this one with A being big hand

Can I not tell the time, or should we be talking about the little hand?

Hehe, in that case, your pulley shown is set to 1pm
