Hi,
I have tried searching but am unable to find a picture showing the "path" for the auxiliary belt on my Omega. Does anyone have one please as my belt has broken so I have no original to refer to.
Thank you,
Ian

Assuming you have air-con, it will the one in the bottom left.

And the way you do it is to fit the belt to all the pulleys except the tensioner, then using a socket on the tensioner pullet nut, turn it clock-wise to swivel the tensioner towards the centre of the engine until you can slip the belt onto the tensioner pulley.

It is much easier to fit the belt around all of the ribbed pulleys, pull on the tensioner and slip the back of the belt over the smooth water pump pulley.

Add watch your fingers when putting the belt over the tensioner making sure you've got a good spanner / wrench grip on the tensioner nut.

Assuming you have air-con, it will the one in the bottom left.

So:
T = tensioner
GEN = generator/alternator
WP = water pump
CS = crank shaft
AC = air conditioning
PAS = power assisted steering

so what is "G" ? (and what car had it fitted?)

'G' is/was a Guide / Idler Pulley I believe.  Not seen one personally though.

Agreed.
