Title: 2.6CC Auxiliary belt replacement (Water Pump etc)
Post by: DaveP01 on 28 December 2010, 21:56:52

ON my Omega 2.6 V^ elite the Auxiliary drive belt has just snapped, so would appreciate any detailed info as to how to fit new one. According to an extract from a manual, I believe I need to remove the "Air intake system Pre volume chamber" AND "The secondary air injection system front connecting pipe" first, but not sure if this is correct/all and I don't have any detail or pictures etc...

15mm spanner on tensioner "T" in pic. Turn clockwise to remove tension and slip the belt.  Belt removal can be done by undoing the screw holding the bracket between the 2 a/c pipes.

Exactly as Rob says, just be mindful of why it snapped! Check each of the wheels to make sure they turn easily. I'd bet on the tensioner being siezed though.

Many Thanks to you both for the info (and your time), which was spot on on all counts. Unfortunately the tensioner was seized so more costly than just the belt, but all is now running great again.
