[mkiv] Serpentine Tensioner

[Chris Romano]

Interesting...I usually use a socket along with a long
bar so it is easy to get the leverage.

What has worked for me is running the belt to all the
pulleys and slipping it on the tensioner since it is
smooth.  

You may need to push on it a bit more than you have to
get the proper allowance in order to seat the belt
properly.  

Hope that helps!
(BTW...I never had to remove the radiator however, I'd
recommend putting a rag around the tools to avoid
puncturing the radiator...which I have done :-0
