Fit the new belt to the pulleys

When refitting a multi-ribbed belt, ensure it is centred - it must not overlap either edge of the pulleys

Adjustment

Use a spanner on the hexagonal section (arrowed) of the auxiliary drivebelt tensioner

After slackening the idler pulley locknut, turn the adjusting bolt

Measure the drivebelt deflection with a straight-edge and ruler

1•12 Maintenance procedures

Note: The following procedure applies only tothe Non-VVT-i engines.

5 Two adjustment methods are used for the drivebelts according to their arrangement. On

all models, the alternator drivebelt is adjusted by loosening the mounting and adjustment/ lockbolts then moving the alternator either by hand, or by turning the adjuster bolt, as necessary, while checking the tension in accordance with one of the above methods.

Tighten the mounting and adjustment/lockbolts when the tension is correct. To adjust the tension of the other belts, first check to see if an idler pulley is used in the belt arrangement. If an idler pulley is fitted, loosen the idler pulley locknut and turn the adjusting bolt (see illustration). Measure the belt tension in accordance with one of the above methods. Repeat this step until the drivebelt is adjusted correctly then tighten the idler pulley locknut. If an idler pulley is not fitted, adjustment is carried out at the power steering pump. Loosen the adjustment bolt that secures the pump to the slotted bracket and pivot the pump (away from the engine to tighten the belt, toward it to loosen it). Repeat the procedure until the drivebelt tension is correct and tighten the bolt.
