Title: Aux Belt Removal 1994 Omega 2.5 Petrol
Post by: Anthony in Madrid on 03 October 2014, 20:13:38
Hi Folks!
How ya all doing?
Anyone got a picture of the aux belt that runs the water pump etc. I'm going to check for a noise coming from this zone and I don't want to mess up removing the wrong one. Also if I remove it then do I have to take notes on where I replace it or is it just a plug and play jobby?
Cheers
Ant

There's only one belt, so you can't remove the wrong one  ;)

Take a photo first  :y :y Though I know you'll get the info here if you forget.  ;)

It doesn't need to come off completely. Just release the tension on the idler (T in the pic,15mm socket on a long handle for leverage) then with the other hand reach in and spin the w pump. :)

Yes turn that off theres off there's a chap.  ;)

Sounds like a pulley, but as said take the tension off the belt and spin each pulley by hand.

Turning the pulley by hand seems a bit weak in comparison to 170 GeeGees doing it. Will they spin OK, fast enough Chris?

You'll feel any tightness/roughness/play easily enough with the belt off :y
