On a 2002 Ford Fiesta, the fan belt, also known as the serpentine belt, typically operates under a tension of around 100-120 Newtons (22-27 pounds). It's essential to maintain proper tension to ensure efficient operation of the engine accessories, such as the alternator and water pump. If the belt is too loose, it can slip, leading to poor performance, while excessive tension can cause premature wear or damage to the belt and components. Regular inspections and adjustments are recommended to ensure optimal function.

check tension on fan belt(s)
To change the fan belt on a 1998 Ford Fiesta 1.4, first, ensure the engine is off and cool. Release the tension on the belt by loosening the tensioner pulley, then remove the old belt from the pulleys. Install the new belt by routing it according to the belt diagram usually found in the engine bay, then re-tighten the tensioner to secure the belt in place. Finally, check the belt tension and ensure it runs smoothly before closing the hood.
