Title: v6 engine pictures
Post by: batmobile on 24 January 2010, 14:56:06

Looked through the forum but can't locate any pictures of the engine pulley layout with descriptions, or can anyone tell me what they are?

If I remember rightly (and I am sure someone will correct me if I am wrong) looking at the front of the engine you will find something like this very crude diagram I have just done

yeah Andy, had the cambelt and tensioners changed, plus waterpump.  But looking at front of engine top left small pulley is still original, should that have been changed as well?

Thats the aux belt tensioner. Shouldn't need to be changed but can become very dry and noisy so should be repacked with grease if necessary when cam belt done :y

As Scottie has said!  :y  :y  :y
Remember that the belt you can see is the fan belt/auxillary belt, you have (hopefully  ::)) had the belt & tensioners inside the plastic cover behind it replaced  :y  :y  ;)
