How to replace fan belt or diagram for this

pivot the belt tensioner pulley

or adjusting bolt

Instructions

1. 1 Open the bonnet of the Pajero, and turn the bolt on the centre of the tension pulley with a socket wrench two full rotations. The tension pulley is the pulley directly behind the fan in the upper portion of the front of the engine.
   
2. 2 Loosen the adjuster bolt on the tension pulley bracket. This bolt is on the left-hand side, situated in a long horizontal groove.
   
3. 3 Slip the fan belt off of the engine. Draw a diagram of the path of the fan belt if the factory printed sticker diagram is no longer in the front of your engine on your Pajero.
   
4. 4 Insert the new fan belt, winding it through the various pulleys according to your diagram. Put it on the tensioner pulley last.
   
5. 5 Place the tension belt tool on the tension pulley bolt and pull until the slack in the belt is gone. When there is no slack, keep the pressure on the pulley, and tighten the adjuster bolt with the wrench. Tighten the lock bolt on the pulley.
   

OK, having REAL hard time looking up the diagrams today, however, given that the engine will turn (at the crankshaft) in a clockwise direction, 1) first locate the tensioner pulley(s) {there is usually only one per belt, and they are mounted to a bar/ arm that will move, SEE FIG A} AND the idler pulley(s) for each belt/ pulley track {the path over each set of pulleys as they are away from the engine face} ((e.g. if there are two pulleys on the crankshaft that are face to face, then there would be two tracks for a belt (one each) to go around all of the pulleys on that track)){e.g. #1 in FIG A is one belt track/ path. and # 3 is a different track/ path}



where #2 is the tensioner pulley in this example.

2) starting from the crankshaft, go along the bottom of the pulley towards the left of the engine face to the next pulley, if that pulley is smooth on the round part, then that means that the outside of the serpentine belt goes there, if it is grooved, then the inside of the serpentine belt goes there. and follow the path around the clock (so to speak ) for each path.

Some parts dealers will show you the diagrams for your vehicle, but some won't. the diagram(s) MAY be in your owners manual.
good luck.

Audi A6 (1999 fabrication year):
1. Release the fan belt tensioner.
2. Remove the broken belt.
3. Put the new belt correctly in place.
4. Set-up the fan belt tensioner.

If you specify the engine type of yours car I will send you the fan belt routing diagram!

Timing belt replacement for rubber belts is around 60, 000 miles, maximum is 90,000 miles, Since you have 84,000 miles, I would do it soon.

Crankshaft match marks


Align marks on timing belt pulley and pump body.

Camshaft pulley alignment marks

1. Align marks on camshaft pulleys with alignment marks on seal plate.
2. Install timing belt. NOTE: No looseness should exist on the tension side and at the camshaft pulleys.
   
3. Loosen tensioner lock bolt.
4. Turn crankshaft 2 revolutions in direction of rotation and check that timing marks are still in alignment.
5. Tighten timing belt tension lock bolt to 27-38 ft lb (32-52 Nm).
6. Apply a force of 22 lbs to timing belt between camshaft sprockets.
7. Belt deflection should measure 0.30-0.33 in (7.5-8.5 mm)
8. NOTE: Replace tensioner spring if timing belt deflection is excessive.

Timing Belt Installation

1. Install lower timing belt cover.
2. Install upper timing belt cover.
3. Install power steering drive belt and adjust belt tension.
4. Install fan pulley.
5. Install generator drive belt and adjust belt tension.
6. Install A/C drive belt and adjust belt tension.
7. Install splash guard.
8. Install fan and fan shroud.
9. Install 4 fan bolts. Tighten to 24 ft lb (33 Nm).
10. Install fan shroud mounting bolts.
11. Install fresh air duct.
12. Connect hose to resonance chamber.
13. Connect battery negative cable.

Replacing a CPS can be easy or hard. On the 2002 Gallant 2.4, it is located behind the timing belts. Removal of the main pulley, the covers and the belts is required. This isn't as hard as it sounds and is essentially the same as changing the timing belts.

Their should ba a tensioner pully that it goes around. this part keeps tension on at all times. It is possible that you have the wrong belt or you have the belt routed wrong. Check with your local auto parts store, they should be able to give you the belt routing and the right belt if you have the wrong one.

Please contact me if your problem presists.

Is your engine a 4 or 6 cylinder? Air conditioning or no? Either way, a power steering belt at Auto Zone will run you from $7.99 to $12.99. If replacing that does not help, it may be your pump.
HOWEVER, before anything else, PLEASE CHECK THE FLUID LEVEL IN THE POWER STEERING RESERVOIR. It may be low. If so, just add fluid to the correct level.:)
