2.0L engines up to mid-1995 release
It should be recalled that in auto repair shops a special device is used to check the belt tension. The belt tension check described below should be considered temporary. Later it is recommended to have the belt tension checked by a workshop.
1. The fastening bolts that must be loosened to tension the belt are indicated in the illustration (A) And (IN). Loosen both screws first (A) and loosen the screws (IN) at the bottom of the pump.
2. Now both nuts on the right and left of the tensioner are adjusted so that the belt is loosened, after which it is removed.
3. Put on a new V-belt and tighten it by turning the nuts to the left and right of the tensioning element. The belt is tensioned so that its deflection under the pressure of the finger between the two pulleys is 12-13 mm.
4. After completing the adjustment, tighten the tensioner nuts to 25 Nm. Tighten the remaining bolts to 25 Nm.
Engines 2.4 l (until mid-1995 release)
1. These engines have the V-belt tensioning bolts in the location shown in the illustration.
2. If you have an air conditioner, you must first remove the compressor drive belt.
Here, too, tension control is carried out using a special device.
3. Loosen tension bolts (A) and bolts (IN), shown in the illustration. Loosen both nuts in the places shown by the arrows so that the belt is loose and remove it.
4. Put on a new belt and tighten it by adjusting the nuts shown by the arrow so that the belt deflection under finger pressure between the two pulleys is 12-13 mm.
5. Tighten the adjusting nuts to a torque of 40 Nm, the pump mounting bolts to a torque of 25 Nm.
