And yes, they do start in 2nd, unless you floor it or engage '2'.

Assuming this is the M102 4 cylinder gasoline engine, the value given in the Haynes workshop manual is 10Nm, or 8 lbf ft. That's firmish hand tight.

I'll take advice and replace the whole tensioner mechanism. After 225,000 miles, it's probably prudent.
