1. Drive belts located in front of the power unit and play an important role in the functioning of the engine, and many other vehicle systems. Over time, belts are worn and should be regularly inspected in accordance with the schedule of routine maintenance of the car to avoid serious engine failures, fix the consequences of which could cost the car owner a lot of money. On models of early years of release are three drive belt (multirebernogo and V-shaped [wedge] type). On models since 1995, vol. It provided only two multirebernyh belt. Belts are used to drive auxiliary units such as generator, water pump and steering, as well as (at a corresponding complete set of the car) the air conditioning compressor.  | 2. Turn off the engine, open the hood and look for belts. Flashing his flashlight, his fingers palpate the straps over their entire length, checking for cracks and bundles. It is unacceptable the presence of abrasions on his belt, zapolirovat polished sections and other obvious defects. Inspect belts on both sides, why twist them. Defective belts must be replaced without fail. |
3. Check the ribs on the underside of the belt - they should have the same depth in the absence of deformation.
 | 4. Evaluation belt force can be made by him of pressing the thumb on the middle portion between two adjacent pulleys. The pressure should be sufficiently rigid. The parameter that characterizes the tension of the belt is the size of its deflection when pressing. Typically, if the pulleys are spaced apart in the region of 180 to 280 mm, the amount of deflection must be 6.4 mm, the distance between the pulleys of 305 - 405 mm corresponds to the deflection of 12.5 mm - for a V-belt, and 6.4 mm - for multirebernogo. |
 | 5. On models of early years of release one belt is used to drive a water pump and steering. Tensile force of the belt is controlled by a special tension roller, which is accessible only from below. The second, shorter belt drives a generator. Adjusting the tension of the belt is made by adjusting the position of the generator assembly. The longest belt drives the compressor K / V and is equipped established in the top of the idler pulley assembly. On models of release since 1995 stipulated only two multirebernyh drive belt tension adjustment of one of which is produced by the displacement of the steering pump assembly, while the second is equipped with an upper idler pulley. |
