Hey guys.

I am fitting A/C to my GQ 4.2 diesel, I got a second hand kit from the wreckers and all is in, wiring is good but I have a question about the belt tensioner. Where the hell does it go? I have a Tensioner and an idler pulley but cant work it out!

Does anyone have any pics of the pulleys on an engine? Perhaps on a complete engine out of a car?

Thanks.

I will take pics of my tensioner and idler tomorrow, The tensioner has adjustment like the manual picture but there is an extra idler that I have no idea where it goes. May need to pull the alternator off to get a better look at the front of the engine.

All sorted out. As I had the Genuine nissan tensioner I figured it must go where the manual diagram shows, so I remived the alternator for a better look and bingo, there were the tensioner mounts. All done now and ready for gas.

Thanks for the help.
