Changing Aux Drive Belt.
« on: 08 October 2007, 22:03:04 »
Changing Aux Drive Belt.  

Hows this done on a 2002 2.2i.  

 I have all the bits namely, the belt, a water pump, an alternator, but I see no means of tensioning the bloody thing.  
Last car I did this on was a cortina....

Incidentally, anyone hit with green taxes on these buggers yet?

There is a spring loaded tensioner.

The waterpump is cambelt driven, so not on aux belt

15mm spanner i believe, just turn against the spring tension and you will see the belt slacken. There is a small hole that will come into line with another, pop in a small drill bit or similar to hold the tensioner whilst you replace the belt.

It could get a lot worse if it breaks.. Not an expensive job to DIY.

Cambelt is a straightforward job on the 4 cyclinder.  False economy not to do it.  Why are you changing aux belt , water pump (good idea with cambelt) and alternator (unlucky if this has failed on a 2002 car) BTW?

Do a sketch of the aux belt routing around all the pulleys before you remove it ;)
