Idler for the super charge belt broke off of the motor. I purchased a new idler, but there is no diagram in the manual. Is the diagram on the crossmember for the serpentine belt for the engine and supercharge belt as well?

Get hold of a manual ( may be able get a down load on the belt from the net). Basically the grooves of the belt go around the grooved pulleys and the idlers if flat will run on the back of the belt The new belt will ne of the correct length so if it appears to short or too long then reassess where you have the belt running

IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A PROPER DIAGRAM OF BELT ROUTING. GO TO ANY AUTO PARTS STORE AND THEY MAY HELP YOU. YOU CAN PROBABLY GO TO DEALER AND GET THE DIAGRAM FOR FREE OR NEARLY. MERRY CHRISTMAS !!

Although a KIA manual will state that this is an interference engine, it is not. I know because I have replaced a shredded timing belt on my used 2000 Sportage to take it home and it ran great. Just recently, the timing idler pulley bolt broke while I was driving causing the belt to come off. I replaced the tensioner pulley and drilled out and re-tapped the idler bolt hole and installed the new idler and the belt (it was only 2 months old at the time) and it runs great again. THESE ARE NOT INTERFERENCE ENGINES!!!! you don't have to tear down the top end of the engine to inspect for any damage and it is very simple to install a timing belt on this motor as long as it is done properly.

There should be a belt routing diagram on the radiator shroud or around the engine well. Find the idler tensioner pulley, install the belt per the diagram, using a wrench or ratchet to release the tensioner to get the belt on. Make sure the tensioner isn't froze.

There is a idler wheel that has a bolt that when loosened will cause it to spring back. As you lay under the car with your feet first inward ( looking straight up from under vehicle snake the belt through and over the pulleys then pry back with a long pry bar the idler pulley lever after loosening bolt on wheel or lever as you put the belt over the pulleys. I have done this belt on a 1999 528 i it is a unpleasant job without a diagram showing the serpentine pulley arrangement, there is a second idler pulley located slightly higher than the release locking idler pulley don't confuse the two, I would advise aquiring a serpentine belt diagram (cd repair manual on ebay motors) unless you are confident you can figure it out through trial and error.

start at crank goes around crank pulley and ac compressor then inside the idler back out around alternator theninside tensioner belt will almost touch itself between pulleys

The diagram on the right in this link provides the exact diagram/pic. for your car. The link is to a site that explains how to convert earlier NG models (which had an extra center idler pulley) to a shorter belt, ala the newer models such as yours which had eliminated this idler. See also, this site for additional information. Another diagram is here with part numbers for the pulleys and the belt. This is about a one hour job to replace the belt and one or two pulleys. Ensure the pulleys are lined up correctly to avoid throwing the new belt when you start it up.

what was it doing when the belt broke.... most times you just have the belt replaced and everything is fine.

Hi.
If the idler pulley, broke, with the car running, (I think is the most probable), There is no way to fix the car just replacing the timing belt and the idler pulley. This is an interference engine, that means if the timing belt or the idler pulley breaks, you need to replace the whole cylinder head, that's because the valves are bent. I just fix my daewoo, I tried first to just change the idler pulley and set up the time, but it did not work. I had to replace the whole head cylinder, timing belt and pulleys.

I got the information to set up the timing belt from a Library, The program is Mitchell on demand.

Thanks
