dont know about the petrol engines but I have a 1.9 tdi and you dont tension it it has an automatic tensioner when set in the correct position puts the correct tension on the belt it is spring loaded I cant remember exactly how it works but you should dor more research into this before attempting to tension a worn belt or changing one as a failed timimng belt can cause massive engine damage
it has a chain not belt
this totally depends on which sharan you have. Is it a diesel or petrol?
