Check and adjust the tension of V-ribbed belts
|  | 1. Check the V-belt and its location on the pulleys.  | Check the location of the edges of the V-ribbed belt pulley groove. If the V-ribbed belt makes unusual noise, check the belt for wear and damage, as well as working surfaces of pulleys. Also check belt deflection defining its tension. |
|
2. The special device measure a belt tension. In the absence of a special tool, check the belt tension, having pressed on it effort of 100 N in a place located on identical removal from pulleys and measure a belt deflection. |

Typical values belt drive the air conditioning compressor Engine DOHC 2,0 / 2,4 l Check | Adjustment | New | Second-hand | Deflection, mm | 11,7-15,3 | 8,8-11 | 12,5-14,3 | Tensioning H | 300-500 | 550-650 | 350-450 |
Engine V6 2,5 liter The belt tension is adjusted automatically tensioning.  | The belt tension should be measured exactly in the center between the pulleys. |
When a new belt is installed, adjust the tension to the average value given in the column "New". Reused belt is considered to be a belt, worked on the engine for more than 5 minutes and the tension must be adjusted to the average value given in column When adjusting the tension of a used belt or belt, who worked on the engine for more than 5 minutes it is necessary to adjust the tension to the average value given in the column "Second hand". For periodic check-ups should be guided by the column "Test". Adjustment Engine DOHC 2,0 / 2,4 l | 1. Loosen the screws "A" locking bolt tension adjustment.
2. Turn the adjusting bolt "B", adjust the belt tension.
3. Tighten the bolt "A" fixing bolt tension adjustment.  | 4. Check the belt tension and, if necessary, repeat the adjustment. | Before re-check belt tension, turn a few revolutions of the engine crankshaft. |

Engine V6 2,5 liter | 1. If the belt tensioning mechanism beyond the maximum mark tension, replace the belt.
 | 2. When replacing the drive belt tensioner indicator must be between the MAX and MIN. Tension measurement special device type A - When measuring the tension device wedge a belt must not touch the other components of the engine.
|
 | Tension measurement special device type B - When measuring ensure that the key turned in the direction of re-installation of the arrow, the arrow to set the device to its original state.
- After removing the unit from the belt needle still will indicate the belt tension.
