you would like about a 1/4" give in the belt
If it is a serpentine belt the automatic tensioner will adjust the belt for you. If it is an older "V" type belt--there should be 1/2" "play" at the middle of the belt, between the pulleys.
no
The pulleys sometimes separate and need replacing. There should be a schematic on the fan shroud.
Put Auto zone in your search engine and they should have the repair guide or the diagram for the belt.....
No.
Old fan belt. Try replacing it.
no
you should have three belts total. Going from the fan towards the distributer the first belt should be the power steering, then the actual fan belt, then the third belt is the alternator / a/c belt, i hope this is helpful for you! So for the answer to your question, there is one fan belt, the second belt in from the fan!
Belt too tight, or too loose, or drive pulleys out of alignment, or damaged.
The serpentine belt and the tensioner on a 300 SE motor is part of the fan system that controls all of the smaller motors on the front of the engine. The serpentine belt helps turn the alternator, power steering pump, water pump, and the fan. The tensioner is a pulley on this belt that helps to keep the belt tight enough to stay on, but not too tight to hinder operation.
If it is a newer corsa (built in the last 12 years or so) if guessing you mean the alternator belt because it doesn't actually have a fan belt as the fan is driven by a electric motor. To tighten the alternator belt is very easy...Just loosen the two or three bolts holding it on (do not take them right out) pull the alternator so that the belt tightens and then tighten the bolts back up. You may need someone to hold the alternator and belt tight whilst you tighten the bolts back up. If the belt still continues to squeal after you have tightened it a couple of times it means the belt needs replacing.
The belt(s) are probably too loose or too tight. Either way will cause noise.
