THE DIAGRAM IS ON THE HHOD ON UNDERSIDE OR ACCROSS THE FRONT TOP OF RADIATOR. THEIR IS A BELT TENSONER THAT LOOKS LIKE A ARM COMEING DOWN WITH A PULLY ON IT. PUT A SOCKET ON THE PULLY AND EITHER PUSH FORWAR OR PULL BACK AND IT WILL MOVE TO ALLOW THE NEW BELT TO GO ON. WHEN YOU LET GO IT KEEPS TENSON ON THE BELT.
change the belt. it is probably time anyways. I like the GoodYear Gaterback belt. While the belt is off you can run the car for a minute. If the noise is from the timing belt you would hear it(unlikely though). Install belt and let it run for a few minutes. Turn off and check for proper tension. Replace tensioner as a last resort. Enjoy the quiet.
hi from uk the cambelt/timing belt comes as a kit ie timing belt and tensioner cost £50 here in uk ? it is not too difficult diy job approx 2hours the engine must 1st be set to TDC number 1 firing then at this setting the cam cog mark is a hole drilling in the web of cog and should line up at 12 oclock upwards and using a mirror look thro drill hole and you will see a vertical notch/groove behind on font engineface this is correct mark the crank cog mark lines up with aother mark on engine front face at approx 12 30 pm oclock ? if now set you slacken tensioner bolts and push t/pully away to left from belt ? then remove belt next remove complete tensioner assy after undoing bolts then fit new tensioner push t/pully to left from belt run and lock bolt/s recheck t/marks then fit new belt from c/shaft in anticlockwise rotation when fitted release tensioner bolt and allow to tension belt push t/pully onto belt and lock up tensioner bolts20=27 Nm rotate engine manually for four turns then recheck marks ? should still aligne then re assemble torque crank bolt to =140-150 Nm A LITTLE HINT ? b4 you remove the water pump belt ? slacken thefour 10 mm headed bolts (spanner size) that secure w/pump pully to pump it will be easier to halt rotation of pully if you holt belt tight by hand this pully has to come off to remove c/belt covers same for power steer belt which is also driven from the w/pump pully the power steer pump slide adjuster has a 12 mm bolt you slacken and best done with open end spanner ? after slackening the pump mounting bolts/nuts underneath pump hope you can follow this info/tips wish you good luck from uk
The tensioner itself is not meant to be taken apart. If you do, it's one difficult job to put back together again! Assuming you just want to either remove or replace the belt, all you need is a long spanner or breaker bar (14mm I think) and turn the centre bolt of the tensioner in a clockwise direction. If you're re-fitting a belt, it's best to start with the spanner in a position where you have the biggest possible amount of movement available to turn the spanner clockwise. If you're removing a belt, you'll only need a small amount of clockwise movement, but may need a lot more in the anti-clockwise direction (once the belt is off, the pulley will go back a lot further). The tensioner only has a certain amount of movement and if if doesn't go back much further with the belt removed, you need a new (or shorter) belt.
By the "top pulley" you would be referring to the water pump pulley? This is held on with 4, 10mm head bolts. Make sure you have disconnected the battery and then removed the battery cable from the back of the alternator before continuing.
Should be the pulley underneath the power steering pulley. Loosen the nut, then back the bolt down the loosen the belt, tighten the bolt to tighten belt.
