Check of a state, adjustment of effort of a tension and replacement of driving belts
Check of a state, adjustment of effort of a tension and replacement of driving belts, (each 25 000 km of a run or time in 12 months)
Check
The scheme of an arrangement of belts of the drive of auxiliary units from the forward party of the power unit
Typical examples of violation of serviceability of a condition of V-shaped driving belts
Typical examples of wear of multicostal driving belts

|
1. Driving belts are located in a forward part of the power unit and play an important role in functioning of the engine and many other systems of the car. Eventually belts wear out and have to look round regularly according to the schedule of routine maintenance of the car in order to avoid serious engine failures which correction of consequences can cost to the owner of the car a pretty penny.
2. The quantity of the driving belts used on concrete model of the car depends on a vehicle complete set auxiliary units. Belts are used for the drive of the generator, steering and water pumps, and also the air conditioner compressor. Depending on character of an arrangement of pulleys more than one unit can be put by one belt in action.
3. Kill the engine, open a cowl and find driving belts. Highlighting itself a small lamp, fingers feel belts on all their length, checking for existence of cracks and stratifications. Inadmissibly also presence on a belt of attritions, zapolirovanny to gloss of sites and other obvious defects. Examine belts on both sides for what overwind them. Defective belts are subject to replacement without fail. Check a condition of edges on the lower party of belts, - they have to have identical depth in the absence of deformation signs. |
| 4. Assessment of effort of a tension of a belt can be made by a nazhimaniye on it by a thumb on the site in the middle between two next pulleys. Pressing has to be rather firm. The parameter characterizing effort of a tension of a belt is the size of its deflection at a nazhimaniye. As a rule, if pulleys defend from each other at distance from 180 to 280 mm, the size of a deflection has to make 6.4 mm, to distance between pulleys in 305 ÷ 405 mm there corresponds the deflection in 12.5 mm - for a wedge-shaped belt, and 6.4 mm - for multicostal. |

Adjustment
|
|
|
|
| 1. As a rule, correction of effort of a tension of a belt (easing/strengthening) is carried out in the way shift in the relevant party of the hinged auxiliary unit given by a belt. |
| 2. Usually about one component which fixture is carried out by means of axial/lock and adjusting bolts is the share of each of the driving belts used on the engine. The axial/lock bolt is released, then adjusting rotates in the relevant party. |
|
3. For easing of effort of a tension of a belt the component should be displaced towards the engine and vice versa. Having finished adjustment, track reliability of tightening of bolts.
4. On some models for the shift of hinged units it is necessary to use the lever, - observe extreme care, try not to damage units. |
|
Replacement
|
|
1. For replacement weaken effort of a tension of a belt (see above) and throw off it from the pulleys. It will be reasonable to make replacement of all belts at the same time in view of approximately identical speed of their wear. Sometimes from below to a cowl the label with the scheme of laying of driving belts is pasted.
2. Upon purchase of new belts take with yourself old as samples - replaceable belts have to correspond strictly removed from the car on a standard size. Track correctness of landing of belts on pulleys.
3. Upon completion of replacement adjust a tension of new belts (see above). |
