Cam belt Ajustment

[Kiwi Beat]

Can anyone please tell me if the timing belt has an external adjustment bolt?
Other Honda's (civic) that I have owned had a bolt that you just undone and re tightened for adjustment.(In a barsted of a place to get at of course.)
Or are they set and forget?
Cheers KIWIBEAT

I believe that if you loosen this bolt, a spring will pull an idler pulley against the timing belt, removing any slack. The bolt is then retightened as you described. Sort of a automatic adjustment, that must be done manually, like the Civic.

cheers for that

After loosening the bolt, I believe that you should rotate the engine counterclockwise a few turns, then tighten it back up. (all from my civic manual)
