Power Steering/Drive belt Adjustment To adjust P/S belt tension, loosen tension pulley bolts and turn tension pulley using hexagon wrench. Adjust belt tension to specification described in CHECK. Then tighten tension pulley bolts to specified torque. Tightening torque P/S belt tension pulley bolt (a): 25 Nm (2.5 kgf-m, 18.5 ft. lbs.)
If everything was fine before the new belt was fitted then the most obvious answer is that the timing belt has been fitted incorrectly and the timing is wrong.
has the engine run since new timing belt put on? if not whoever did the work, didnt get the timing right.
if the timing belt is not moving when engine is cranking,it means you have broken a cam,or a belt pulley.do not keep cranking as you can damage other parts of the engine such as the valves
If a new timing belt was installed but the valve timing does not correspond with the pistons ie: the valves opening as the pistons reaching top dead centre ,,then it will be jamming.. bending valves and possibly damaging pistons.. when fitting a new timing belt or chain you have to be very careful of cam/valve position in respect of the pistons
On most engines, the water pump drive belt is also the timing belt.
Hiya, Have put new timing belt on 94 Camry 2.2, not a problem, but the tension pulley is not springing back to tighten belt enough, seems odd that the old belt had good tension, have checked and the new belt is the same length, is there a trick to the tension pulley? thanks.
You are not suppose to tighten a timing belt. Only when you install a new one does that get done. When you are replacing it you have to loosen up the tensioner pulley assembly and it self adjusts under spring tension. Good luck
Remove the timing belt cover. There should be a pully that will ratched in and out to tighten and loosen the belt.
the only belt with a tensioner is the timing belt, to tighten the alt belt loosen the adjustment bolt then tap the alt back then retighten the bolt
Weak tensioner?
theres no way to tighten it you will have to buy a new belt
If everything was fine before the new belt was fitted then the most obvious answer is that the timing belt has been fitted incorrectly and the timing is wrong.
You just need to remove the bottom cover on the side where the timing belt is. Then loosen up the bolt on the tensioner, then use pry bar then when when the belt is tight, tighten the tensioner back up. (make sure Your TDC (Top Dead Center)) ;)
This involves removing the old timing belt and replacing with the new one. Removing the old belt entails removal of the MAT sensor connector, the air cleaner and its hose and the right front wheel. One may then install the new belt, making sure to tighten the automatic tension bolt to 18 ft. lbs. After this is done, the front timing belt cover needs to be screwed back on.
The altima uses a timing chain, not a belt.
You need to remove the alternator, the engine mounting, the upper timing belt cover, the drive belt pulley, the lower timing belt cover. Put marks on the timing belt. Set the first cylinder in its highest position according the marking on the camshaft pulley. Loosen and push to cabin the timing belt tensioner, and tighten it. Remove the timing belt. Remove the water pump. It's better to replace the thermostat too. Change all gaskets and O-rings around the water pump. Install a new water pump. You need to tighten outer bolts first and then the middle one. I hope you have torque specifications.
yes you do have to loosen the nut on the tensioner, or else u wont have ennough slack in the belt to put it on, once it is in place then make shure u tighten the bolt again
