When it shows any signs of wear...usually when the label starts to disappear you should look for any type of cracks when you bend the belt.
The fan belt cannot be tightened. The scenic has a tention pulley that automatically adjusts the belt. If the belt is slack, it is either the wrong size or it is stretched and needs to be replaced immediately as serious damage can occur in the event that the belt should slip off.
No, tensioner pulley is at a preset tension, no adjustment can be made. If there is slop in the belt, the spring loaded tensioner should be replaced.
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!
You can't, the serpentine belt (or fan belt) on a grand marquis is equiped with a self tensioner, if your belt is making noise it either needs to be replaced or one of the pulleys on the cars may be loose and would need to be replaced.
You did not mentioned the fan belt. That is the usual cause.
I need diagram of the fan belt for a 1997 jeep wrangler sport
theres no fan belt on front wheel drive motors. only a fan motor
i owned a escort1.4 ,same problem,garage can tighten belt or it may need replaced.
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.
Loosen the component slide it towards the engine to lossen the belt, remove belt. Install in reverse. If the fan is your problem it is held on with 4 small bolts, remove them and the fan. P/S you should be able to work the belt around the fan blades without removing the fan. On_mitch
A fan belt may squeak or slip badly in cold weather due to it being stiff from the weather. However, most likely you will need the belt replaced.
