How to Install a Belt Tensioner on a 2.0L/2.4L Engine on 2008 Chrysler PT Cruiser?

Check the tensioner arm of the accessory drive belt tensioner and ensure it holds 33-46 lb of tension on the belt. Start by setting up the tensioner pulley and bolt and then tighten the bolt to 27 Nm (20 ft. lbs.). Once that's done, bolt the tensioner assembly to the engine and fasten its bolt so that it holds 54 Nm (40 ft. lbs.) of tension. Afterward, bolt on the power steering/air conditioning compressor belt.
