Replacing the alternator drive belt

Tools:

Parts and consumables:

• Generator belt

Notes:

If the belt is removed not for replacement, then before removing, mark the direction of its rotation, as when the direction of rotation changes, the belt will wear out quickly.​

Engine compartment

1, 4 - clamps;
2 – fuel return hose;
3 - fuel supply hose;
5 - coolant supply hose;
6 - upper boost duct;
7 - expansion tank;
8 - hose.

Engine mud guard

The shield fastening screws are shown by arrows.

Lower boost duct

1 - air duct;
2 - hose;
3 - bolt;
4 - clamp.

Models without air conditioning

1.  Remove the upper engine cover

2.  For supercharged engines, remove clamps 4 and upper air duct 6 with hose 8 from the engine compartment (see Fig. Engine compartment).

3.  Using the key 1, turn the tension roller 6 clockwise to loosen the belt tension. While holding the roller, remove the belt (2 - tensioner; 3 - generator pulley; 4 - generator drive belt; 5 - crankshaft pulley).

4.  Check up an inhaling of bolts of fastening of the generator and the tension device. Check the ease of rotation of the tension roller 6 and pulley 3 of the generator, they should rotate easily, without jamming.

5.  While holding the tensioner 2, put a new belt 4 on the pulleys of the crankshaft 5 and generator 3 and release the tensioner. The tensioner will automatically tension the belt.

6.  Start the engine and check the operation of the belt.

Models with air conditioning

7.  Remove the engine mudguard by unscrewing the screws of its fastening, shown by the arrows in the figure (see Fig. Engine mudguard).

8.  Turn away a bolt 3, remove collars 4 and then the bottom air duct 1 with a hose 2 (see fig. The bottom air duct of a pressurization).

9.  With a wrench, as shown in the figure, turn the tension roller clockwise to loosen the belt tension. While holding the roller, remove the belt.

10.  Check up an inhaling of bolts of fastening of the generator, the conditioner compressor and the tension device. Check the ease of rotation of the tension roller and the pulleys of the generator and compressor, they should rotate easily, without jamming.

11.  While holding the tension roller, put a new belt on the pulleys of the crankshaft, generator and compressor, then release the roller. The tensioner will automatically tension the belt.

12.  Start the engine and check the operation of the belt.
