Pontiac Fiero Drive Belt
In all auto models including the Pontiac Fiero, the Drive Belt is a critical part necessary for use in rotating other agents like the alternator and the A/C compressor to be able to be powered by the engine. In most situations, there is normally a serpentine belt that drives of these parts to the crankshaft pulley. The typical Drive Belt's lifespan in a Fiero car is approximately 100,000 miles, nevertheless, cracking or unraveling should be dealt with immediately as it poses a threat to not only the parts but to the engine as well. Different applications involve the use of different types of Drive Belts; there are the V-belts, the multi-groove belts, and the timing belts, among others, and the benefits of these are that they possess features such as traction, flexibility, and no-slip operations. These belts are cheap to obtain, easy to manage and can accommodate misalignment and they provide power transmission with high reliability. Due to the further development of belt technology, Drive Belts are now a part of almost any contemporary mechanical system serving various purposes.
Each OEM Pontiac Fiero Drive Belt we offer is competitively priced and comes with the assurance of the manufacturer's warranty for the part. Furthermore, we guarantee the speedy delivery of your orders right to your doorstep. Our hassle-free return policy is also in place for your peace of mind.
Pontiac Fiero Drive Belt Parts Questions & Experts Answers
- Q: What are drive belts and where are they located on the engine on Pontiac Fiero?A: The drive belts, often called V-belts, are located on the timing chain end of the engine. Due to their composition and the high stresses they are subjected to, drive belts stretch and deteriorate as they age, necessitating periodic inspections. The number of belts used on a vehicle depends on the installed accessories, as they transmit power from the crankshaft to components such as the alternator, water pump, and air conditioning compressor. Depending on the pulley arrangement, a single belt may drive more than one component, while two belts may drive the same component on other models. Using your fingers, and a flashlight if necessary, move along the belts checking for fraying, cracks, and separation of the belt plies. Also, look for glazing, which gives the belt a shiny appearance. Both sides of each belt should be inspected, and each belt should be twisted to check its underside.
- Q: What is the method for measuring and adjusting belt tension on Pontiac Fiero?A: Check the tension of each belt by pushing on it at a distance halfway between the pulleys. Push firmly with your thumb and measure this deflection with a ruler. The belt should deflect 114-inch if the distance from pulley center to pulley center is between 7 and 11 inches. The belt should deflect 112:inch if the distance from pulley center to pulley center is between 12 and 16 inches. Another, more precise method of measuring and adjusting belt deflection is accomplished with special belt tension tools which are available from General Motors (J-23600-B or BT 33-95-ACBN). These tools measure the amount of force required to deflect a belt a specified distance. To adjust belt tension, loosen the pivot bolt(s) securing the belt-driven component to the engine block and the retaining nut or bolt securing the component to the slotted adjustment bracket. Use a levering device, such as a large screwdriver or pry bar, to pivot the component until the specified tension is achieved. Be careful not to damage either the component or the engine. Tighten the retaining nut or bolt securing the component to its slotted adjustment bracket snug enough to hold it. Check the belt tension again. Adjust as necessary. Tighten the component securely. If inspection reveals that a belt must be replaced, loosen the pivot bolt of the appropriate accessory (alternator, air conditioning compressor, etc.), slip the old belt off the crankshaft pulley and accessory pulley, then lift it out. Before installing the new belt, make sure it's the same width and length as the old one. Once the new belt is in place, tighten and adjust it just like you would a used belt.
