At the front of the engine is a single serpentine drive belt, whose function and material composition make it a vital component in the overall functioning of the engine as well as its various units. The belt should be checked from time to time, given its usage and materialistic nature. An alternator, a power steering pump, a water pump and an air conditioning compressor are all driven by the serpentine belt. Open the hood and feel along the belt with your hands (you can use a flashlight if need be) when the engine is off to find cracks or for any signs of separation of the belt plies. Be sure to check for fraying, which makes it look glossy. You will therefore have to twist it in order to inspect both sides of it. Ribs under the belt are also supposed to be studied. No one deepness should be higher than another on all surfaces. There's nothing you can do about tensioning since it's done by tensioner assembly and there's no way it is adjustable. It is necessary to change on time those belts which were marked in indicated car service manual or if they are spoiled or worn out already. To put on new belt rotate tensioner anticlockwise into slackening position till old one could be removed out from auxiliary units, then slowly release tensioner piston backward down where from you have taken out your used accessory part once more but in forward direction this time towards other engine components that have been mentioned before with their name provided over each pulley particularly at that exact moment when another serpentine item got inserted just like we've told you previously yet without forgetting about letting go of this special mechanism again immediately after doing such things correctly twice as many times! This decal shows how to install drive belts for different models on radiator shroud. In case you don't know where that's located, try looking at radiator shroud underdrive belt routing diagram.

The largest of these components is known as the V-ribbed drivebelt, which is situated at the front of the engine and is essential to both the running of the engine and to various accessories; this should be checked every now and again as it is thought to be prone to degeneration simply with time. The air conditioning compressor has its own belt on the 2003 and later V8 model years and the 2018 and later V6 model years The V6 model years also has a vacuum pump which also has its own belt. With the engine off, trace the drivebelt(s) in order to try to look for presence of cracks, separations, fuzzing, and glazing on both surfaces by twisting the belt. Make sure that the pulleys are free from nick and corrosion and inside the tensioner should be indexed properly. The thickness of the ribs on the underside of the belt should be of the same level. The tension for the alternator, power steering, and water pump is self-adjusted while the one used for an air conditioning compressor or vacuum pump is stretch allow. For replacement therefore, first, you ought to unscrew the air filter housing then for new models, the radiator support cover and the coolant recovery bottle and finally the fan shroud. Pay attention to where the drivebelt runs, attach a ratchet or a breaking bar to loosen the tension on the tensioner and pull the belt off like this. Taken the new drivebelt and fit it properly as required to the appropriate pulleys and make it to be set in its normal position before you release the tensioner. For the AC compressor drivebelt: first, loosed the accessory drivebelt and than cut off the old belt and than used the belt installation tool to fix the new belt. As for the vacuum pump drivebelt, the procedure is virtually the same: removal and, on the second step, installation of the new one, thus making sure it fits as it should. To replace the tensioner, the drivebelt has to be removed, the mounting bolts have to be unscrewed, and then the new tensioner put in its place and fastened.

The tension of the belt is maintained by the tensioner assembly and isn't adjustable.
