AC / Alternator belt tension (5th gen)
Guys,
Just got my car back from the shop where they changed the timing belt and all accessory belts. Alternator/AC + power steerings belts were too tight to the point where they were whining. I managed to loosen the power steering belt, but am having trouble finding the adjustment for the AC and Alternator belts.
I've found the 12mm bolt that the alternator pivots on, and loosened that. Also found the screw tensioner in front of the alternator, but adjusting that makes no difference.
Am I missing another bolt somewhere?
Anyone have a pic?
Thanks.
(Don't wanna take the car back to where I got the t-belt changed - too much of a headache dealing with those asshats)
