You haven't somehow put the wrong idler pulley on have you? like maybe the swapped the idler pulley from the P/S and Alt belt onto that side of the engine have you?

What parts have been changed?

by **bluemaumau** » Fri May 05, 2006 7:16 pm

no they are the same size anyway, i checked. but i have got the right one on.

replaced:
w pump
cambelt
c belt tensioner
p/s a/c belt
alt a/c belt. basically all belts but s/c belt

omg so $&#$% stupid :oops:

i put the belt on the underside of the idler.

its supposed to be on top right???

omfg :oops:

does this pic help with belt layout ? (wont post pic as its rather large)

the CAM belt tensioner will take the slack up for you as its controled by the sping attached to it

as for the other belt you can adjust the tightness by swinging off a long bar acting as a leaver off the alternator, sure you want it tight but not to the point where you are almost snapping the belt.
