Subject:VW Special tool #210 a.k.a. drive belt tension tool
From:Doug Fitz-Randolph

OK - I know nobody actually uses this tool to tension their timing belts,
but... I've managed to acquire one, and I'd like to use it! Does anyone know
how? The Bentley calls for 12-13 index marks. I'm imagining I put the tool
on the belt, then turn the tensioner until the gauge reads 12-13 marks. But
what about the rotating knob on the tool? How to I zero it or calibrate it
prior to use? Or maybe I'm missing the point entirely!

TIA,
