Loosen bolt 1 two to three turns

Unscrew the adjusting bolt 2, loosen the belt tension and remove it

Inspect the belt.

If it has cracks, rubber delamination, tears, dirt deposits between the ribs, etc., replace the belt.

Inspect the pulleys.

Clean or replace the pulleys if they are dirty or damaged.

Replacing and adjusting the tension of the accessory drive belt

If it is necessary to remove the tensioner, unscrew the three bolts 3, at the same time, in order to make it more convenient to unscrew the bolt under the roller, move the roller up.

Installation:

  • 1. Put the belt on the crankshaft pulley.
  • 2. Put the belt on the pulleys of the water pump and generator.
  • 3. After that, put the belt on the tension roller.

After installing the belt, adjust its tension.

Tension adjustment:

At the correct tension, the belt should deflect 15 mm when a force of 8 kgf is applied midway between the alternator and water pump pulleys.

Belt tension is adjusted by moving the tension roller.

Loosen bolt 1.

Wrapping or unscrewing the bolt 2, adjust the belt tension. Tighten bolt 1.

Check belt deflection.
