Auxillary drive belt route
« on: 04 October 2006, 15:53:14 »
Bloody typical! I managed to fit the entire engine, hoses, wires etc but I'll be damned if I can work out the route that the auxillary drive belt takes  :-[ I bought a new one and it seems to be the same size as the one that came with the car but both seem a mile too big. Can anyone provide me with the correct route on a 2ltr DOHC with power steering and Air con pulleys please. Mr Haynes just says to note the route when you remove the old one, not much use if the old one isn't fixed on in the first place  >:(

I'm also a bit concered that the wiring harness to the alternator and starter motor is very close to the alternator pulley. Anyone got a pic of this as well?

Cheers Jim

From memory mine runs from the alternator pulley across to the pas pulley downwards around the AC compressor pulley to crank pulley and back on itself up round the aux tensioner then back to the alternator pulley.

HTH and makes sense  :)

Yep....alternator pulley....across the front of the cam cover and over the top of the PAS pulley, down and round the bottom of the aircon pulleyalong and around the crank pulley then up and around the right hand side of the tensioenr and back to the alternator pulley.

Hi Marks, yes I was slackening the adjusted but I just realised what I was doing wrong. I was routing from alternator across top to pas, down to air con but was going around the tensioner BEFORE the crank pulley  :-[ :-[ Seems to fit fine now  ;)  Thanks for the help, another job done  :)

if you have aircon on your v6, there will be another pulley bottom right that it needs to go round as well...
