Can someone tell me what the 2 other pulleys are attached too on the alternator belt (3rd one being the alternator itself)?
I assume it's job is just to turn the alternator keeping the battery topped-up whilst the car engine is running? Stefan |
Crankshaft pulley.. centre bottom..
Left Hand side Power steering pump.. If you have another belt from crank to the right then aircon pump.. HTH David |
David,
I take it there's no markings or anything involved. Just as long as the belt is on each pulley correctlty and tension to between 45 & 90 degrees it's fine? Only reason I ask is I had the alternator off last night and just wanted to check I've not missed something important. Stefan |
if it doesnt squeak the it will be ok :)
should be able to twist the belt 45- 90 degrees as you say.. Check tensioner is bolted up properly.. David |
Cheers David.

Aircon uses its' own belt.
Alan :cool: |
So is that the aircon pump to the right of it then?

I'm slowly getting to know my way around an engine bay :) Stefan |
|
aye, I saw that the other day. Your either a brave man or know what your doin. Hopefully you'll never have to do that again.
Any ideas what caused it? was it the timing belt being out of alignment? Stefan |
I reckon its a combination of the timing out & the fact the ECU had a Jap aftermarket chip which up'd the boost and was mapped to 100RON+, over time the car's been det/knock and I've not known, then BANG.
It won't happen again, I'll be gauged to the max & uprated metal to make sure it doesn't go BANG in my lifetime. |
