The bolt which adjusts the tension has its head pointing at the ground and if you look up from under the van, just to the right of the oil filter (presuming you are facing the front of the van) you'll see that bolt head behind the tensioner pulley. Again use a 14mm socket (on an extension bar) and turn ccw to loosen and cw to tighten.
