2.0L Diesel Alternator Belt With & Without A/C

FIGURE 6:

2.0L Diesel Alternator Without Air Conditioning

1. Install V-ribbed alternator belt on pulleys.

2. Install a 1/2 inch breaker bar to alternator belt adjusting arm, Figure 6.

3. Apply tension to alternator belt using breaker bar. Using a belt tension gauge, set belt to correct tension: new alternator belt 150-190 lbs. (667-845 N), used alternator belt 140-160 lbs (682-712 N).

4. Secure alternator pivot bolt, leaving it loose enough to allow the alternator to move. While maintaining correct belt tension, torque alternator adjustment bolt and nut to 22-32 ft.lbs. (30-43 N-m).

5. Remove belt tension gauge and breaker bar.

6. Idle engine for five (5) minutes.

NOTE: When retensioning a loose belt, it is important not to allow the belt to relax.

7. With engine off and the tension gauge in place, apply tension to breaker bar while slowly loosening alternator adjustment bolt to allow belt tension to increase to correct specification. Torque alternator adjustment bolt to 22-32 ft. lbs. (30-43 N-m).

8. Torque alternator pivot bolt to 45-55 ft.lbs. (61-75 N-m) and support bracket bolt to 22-32 ft.lbs. (30-43 N-m).

1. Install V-ribbed power steering belt on pulleys.

2. Install a screwdriver, or equivalent, between alternator and power steering pump bracket, Figure 7.

3. Apply tension to alternator belt using screwdriver. Using a belt tension gauge, set belt to correct tension: new alternator belt 150-190 lbs. (622-709 N), used alternator belt 130-140 lbs. (500-584 N).

4. Secure alternator pivot bolt, leaving it loose enough to allow alternator to move. While maintaining correct belt tension, torque alternator adjusting bolts to 22-32 ft.lbs. (30-43 N-m).

5. Remove belt tension gauge and screwdriver.

6. Idle engine for five (5) minutes.

NOTE: When retensioning a loose belt, it is important not to allow the belt to relax.

7. With engine off and the tension gauge in place, apply tension to breaker bar while slowly loosening alternator adjustment bolt to allow belt tension to increase to correct specification. Torque alternator adjustment bolt to 22-32 ft. lbs. (30-43 N-m).

8. Torque alternator pivot to 45-55 ft.lbs. (61-75 N-m).
