All B52XXX engines are equipped with a mechanical camshaft belt tensioner which replaces the old hydraulic tensioner (as of week 32 1997).

Rationalization: quality improvement.

The camshaft belt tensioners are adjusted using an eccentric to obtain the correct belt tension.
Check belt tension at every 30,000 mile / 45,000 km service.
The timing belt and camshaft belt tensioner replacement interval is 80,000 miles / 120,000 km as before.
