V-belt of the generator
Remove the power steering pump and A/C compressor V-belts, if equipped.
Loosen the generator nut slightly.
Loosen the tensioner arm clamp bolt and tilt the generator toward the engine, releasing the V-belt tension.
Remove the alternator V-belt.
Check the condition of the V-belt and replace it with a new one if necessary.
Place the V-belt on the pulley.
Tilt the generator away from the engine using a pry bar, tensioning the V-belt.
Tighten the clamp bolt and check the V-belt tension. The required value is 7.0-10.0 mm.
Install the servo pump and A/C compressor V-belts, if equipped.
Power steering pump V-belt
Remove the power steering pump mounting and clamping bolts and press the pump onto the engine. The V-belt will be loosened.
Remove the V-belt.
Check the condition of the V-belt and get a new one if necessary.
Place the V-belt on the pulleys.
Tilt the servo pump away from the engine, tightening the belt. Check the correct fit of the V-belt on the pulleys and adjust the tension. The required value is 6.0±9.0 mm.

Tighten the clamping and mounting bolts to 50 Nm.
Check the belt tension again.
Air conditioning compressor V-belt
Slightly loosen the tension roller mounting bolt (A).
Loosen the V-belt tension by turning the adjusting bolt (B).
Remove the V-belt from the pulleys.
Check the condition of the V-belt and install a new one if necessary.
Install the V-belt in reverse order.
Put on the V-belt and tighten it by turning the adjusting bolt.
Check the tension of the V-belt. The required tension values of the air conditioning compressor V-belt: new V-belt 6.0-7.0 mm; used V-belt 7.0-8.0 mm.
Tighten the mounting bolt.
Take a test drive and recheck the belt tension.
Locations of V-belts
1 - Power steering pump pulley; 2 - air conditioning belt tension roller; 3 - water pump pulley; 4 - V-belt of the power steering pump; 5 - generator V-belt; 6 - air conditioning V-belt; 7 - generator pulley; 8 - pulley wheel whined; 9 - air conditioning compressor pulley.
Checking the tension of V-belts
Check the tension of the V-belt only in the middle between the two pulleys, as shown by the arrow in the figure.
To do this, pull the belt or press on the belt with a force of 100 N (10 kg), then measure the resulting deflection of the belt and compare it with the specified value.
If the measured value is higher than the permissible value, the belt tension must be adjusted.
Required values of V-belt deflection alternator belt 7.0-10.0 mm; power Steering Pump Belt 6.0-9.0mm; air conditioning compressor belt 6.0-8.0 mm.
Repair of modern engines is not as complicated as it seems and is not very different from repair of engines of different years of production, as it may seem at first glance. This and the following chapters will help you successfully go through the entire process.
