Broken timing belt tensioner stud


Recommended Posts

How do you replace one of the studs holding the timing belt tensioner in place on a 2,5 TD?

It broke in half when I was in the process of changing the timing belt. The stud was in a sorry state to begin with, having lost most of the thread on the part the nut sat on. Therefore I refit a new nut with some washers in between so the nut rode on a non-damaged part of the stud. However the stud broke when I torqued it.
