Belt Tension Gauge VW210 Question...?

I'm not completely sure how to use this thing. Do I tighten the belt, to remove slack, apply the tool, set it to "between 12 and 13", tighten the belt tensioner and lock it with the nut, then remove the tool? And, when the Bentley says, "the tool should read between 12 and 13", d...

It's just as simple as you've stated. Take off the cover, replace the o-ring, ensure spring/washers are in place. re-install the cover. The piston, inside the bore won't fall out as it's retained by a pin in the roller ass'y inside the pump. However, you'll probably find that the pump will start lea...

There is a spring and a sort of piston assembly. but
it's a pretty simple procedure,

There is an o-ring under each side cover and a further o-ring
on the cold start operating shaft.

There's nothing complicated about it, though.

North or South of the border?
East coast? West coast?
Somewhere in the middle?
Perhaps, if you indicated your
location, it might be helpful.

Thanks

They're held on by a number of little plastic clips (that break easily) secured to what look like nail heads. They can be very carefully prised out, with a flat-bladed screwdriver, taking great care not to bend them. How you get them back on, I haven't got around to yet. I'll let you know shortly.

Look closely down the threaded

small O-ring seal (hopefully).
