    well i have scanned it but i cannot upload it ,sorry about that ,but check this out as i have had this before ,you bought the belt new so only two things will cause this problem one is it wasnt fitted right over the pulleys ,or you fitted a 6 tooth belt when it should have been a 5 tooth belt ,check all the drive wheels as had this before on a renault all the pulleys were 6 but the alternator was 5 ,and shredded the belt which jammed up the timing belt ,all down to me --i was not a happy bunney with that job all them new valves and gasket and the work i can tell you .

    Coli,

    many thanks for your time and patience on this matter. New belt is on, but had to source a new tensioning bolt for the PS pp, siezed solid!!!
    Whilst I have ur ear, bit of advice if you dont mind.
    The car is running very lumpy at idle, and has some speed wander at idle also. It has also cut out when coming to idle after a run.
    Was thinking of Ignition coil / leads as possible solution, would this be looking in correct area??
    Once again, many thanks for your time and willingness to share ur knowledge,
    Lou

How do I replace my alternater belt in my Mazda 626 lx

If the alternator is on the top in the open, just loosen the alternator bolts a little bit. Then push the alternator to loosen the belt to remove it. Do the opposite to put the new belt on.

If the alternator is buried under a lot of other things, it's a lot tougher job.
Hope this helps.

Alternator belt fell off

You may have to buy a new belt because that one may have stretches. After you buy a new belt. Look at he alternator, it has two screws, one hold it in place and the other allow it ti move. Lose both a little. With a pry bar push the alternator so the belt can fit. Look for the belt routing diagram in the engine compartment. Follow it and put the belt on. You were suppose to have a belt tension tool to determine the tension. Then use your pry bar to move the alternator to position and tension then tightened alternator screws.
