Title: DRIVE-BELT
Post by: mitchell on March 09, 2014, 21:55:22

 I have a 09 diesel wagon its done 95thou Ks although it doesn't mention anything about replacing the drive-belt in the owners hand book I thought I would have a look and see whats involved but I couldn't see where any of the units the belt drives (power steering.air-con,alternator idle pulley)has any adjustment to allow enough slack to enable a replacement belt to go on.Any one done one.Cheers mitchell

Doesn't look too hard

Just follow instruction 2

The tensioner is the small pulley in the centre, it should be spring loaded, so the hex wrench needs to work against the spring tension, NOT ACTUALLY UNDO THE NUT !

WATCH OUT FOR YOUR FINGERS, TOO.

It is recommend to do the serpentine belt at the 105 thou k service,along with all three pulley's can get a set off of Ebay for around $160,I have gotten an individual price for the belt alone and that was quoted at $77

Well, ypu have Alternator, Water Pump, Crankshaft, A/C and 1 little one in the middle not connected to anything specific.  :whistler:

That's all the help you get, from the manual.

Don't know why the link is patchy :Pout:

Does Repco sells the complete set of belts? Need to provide them the sizes or they have it in their database? Do I need to replace the idler and tension pulleys?
