Belt/Pulley Diagram

[Turkish91]

As my alternator/waterpump belt is no longer there, I dont actually know what route the belt takes on the pulleys? Or is it plainly obvious? If someone has a diagram I'd very much appreciate it

[daz gt turbz]

[micky boy]

There you go mate

[Turkish91]

Legend Wish me luck, I'm attempting it now!

[LukeSR]

In this weather and time!?

[Turkish91]

Yep... kind of on a promise lol

[daz gt turbz]

just loosen the alternator off, run the belt round and tighern the alternator back up and fingers crossed you aint done any damage!

Dont leave the water in the Engine over night though as it will freez!..unless your are useing anti freez of course

[Turkish91]

Where does water come into it? I am using anti-freeze, just topped it up but changing a belt dont mean I have to drop the coolant out or anything lool?

[micky boy]

Noo you dont have to drop the water just because you are changeing the belt i just gathered you droped the water anyway lol...Just get a new belt on here and she how she go's good luck mate

[Ryan-11]

i would double check your water, u could b losing it if your head gaskets gone.

[Turkish91]

Belts are now on, looking at the coolant it did drop some but not much, Ive topped it back up and will keep an eye on it. If it starts dropping loads take it that means head gasket is on its way out?

[Turkish91]

And micky boy, cheers for the diagram mate Really helped, even though now after doing it, was easy peasy! When I helped my mate do one on my HDI it went all over the shop, was like a puzzle!

[LukeSR]

It all good?

[micky boy]

Not a problem mate happy to help have you started here up to see how she is?

[Turkish91]

Seems it, when I first started it there was a load of glugging coming from the water pump and that. Took it for a spin out the village and back and it seems ok, didnt overheat or anything, heaters blowing hot. Just back to normal really Lights were actually nice and bright too!

Oh yeah, and the brakes seem like 187472x better! Fuck knows why?! Proper fallen back in love with it again

[micky boy]

Sweet mate, glad everything is ok it could of been alot worse.
