C220 CDI belt tensioner

[Zululander]

Hi;
Just been told by the MOT station that I need to replace the belt tensioner on my C220 CDI. How would like some help please. Can anyone assist me with some info in how difficult it is to replace the tensioner before I start tackling the job. C220CDI -2002 WDC2030062.
Many Thanks.

Its not too bad on a 202 provided you hve the right tools including a star spanner.I dont know about the 203.Its probably very similar.What is your stock of tools like. You might want to have a look at the tensionerwith a good light to see what tools you will need.You should probably replace the belt at the same time. Odds are it will be worn

Quite easy to do, a 17mm double hex socket and a set of female trox sockets is all thats reqiured.

Just sneaking in to change a typing error trox = torx
