Aux Belt Diagram

[mikej]

Hello all do any of you have a diagram to show the path of the aux belt and associated components , i have a sqeeling noise on start up and think it may be idler or tensioner if someone with a TIS disc could post up a diagram that would be great failing that can anyone shed some light on possible causes from thier own experience. MK2 GAL 2001 2.3 PETROL .

thanks

Thats ok. the other thing that you might want to check is that all the pulley's are lined up straight. they have been known to go out of allinement. But from what ive been told "i have a 2.3 2000 automatic" the belt do take a bit of a hammering on the galaxy's. The only other thing i would say is that when they go you dont always get any warning. We were in the Brecon Beacons last week and mine snapped in the middle of now where. lol. Lucky i had a spare

ok so what am i doing wrong? i've fitted the new tensioner but the new belt doesn't seem long enough to go round the pulleys!? its about an inch short of slipping round the tensioner. The belt is exactly the same length as the old one and i've spent a couple of hours skinning knuckles trying to get it on, is there some kind of trick to it? any help would be much appreciated thanx

Excuse me if I'm being rude, but you are moving the tensioner before trying to put the belt on yeah??

 

If not thats your problem, the place its naturally at now with no belt on is where its designed to try and get to with a socking big spring - you need to de-tension it so you can slip the belt on which will involve either the "special tool" or some improvisation as its under a lot of pressure. Also H&S warning - mind your fingers!! :angry2:

yea, ive jammed a socket in there to hold it up but still it's not going on, does it go on easily normally or is it always a pain?

I didn't change mine on the 2.3 but the td was tough - I seem to recall using a socket to hold it open aswell but on its side as that tensioner needs to open a long way
