Check of a technical condition of a drivebelt of auxiliary units .
Each engine is completed with a belt of a drive of auxiliary units. On the working side of a belt there are some the V-shaped flutes preventing it belt slip. Such belt refers to poky-V-belt. Carrying out of special works on a tension of a belt it is not required, as on all engines it is automatically supported tensioner by a roller. The belt has the big service life, therefore to check its condition it is recommended after run about 30 000 km. However in the car always it is necessary to have a spare belt.

SEQUENCE OF WORKS
" 30 000 km 2 years "

1. Switch off ignition.
2. Mark a belt chalk in well looked through place ( on page - arrow).
3. Install the lever of switching of transfers to neutral position.
4. Brake the car a lay brake.
5. Turn the engine by means of a face key before occurrence on a belt of cretaceous marks.
6. Turn some more time a cranked shaft. Only so you will manage to see all belt. Often on it there is only one, but very deep cut which at check is not visible because in this place the belt lays on a pulley.
7. Check up an external surface of a belt.
8. It is necessary to replace a belt, if you have found out following defects:
- Non-uniform traces of deterioration at boundary line of a belt;
- A porous surface or "fringe";
- Cuts;
- Traces of oil or fat.

Serpentine belt: that it is necessary to know about drivebelts.
Drivebelts transmit twisting moment from a pulley of a cranked shaft to the generator, the liquid pump (viscous clutch the fan), the pump of the hydraulic booster of steering management and the compressor of a central air of air (depending on updating the car). Worn out or polluted drivebelts can cause bad cooling of the engine, insufficient force a charging current of the generator; unsatisfactory work of the hydraulic booster of steering management and a central air of air and consequently require in the constant control and duly adjustment or replacement.
For different devices of drives various methods of a tension of belts depending on the equipment and type of the engine are used. Pair drivebelts it is necessary to replace belts in pair even if one of them is worn slightly out.

The liquid pump - the generator. At replacement drivebelt it is necessary to weaken fastening of the generator and to move it in a direction to the engine for reduction of a tension of a belt that by pressing it in an average part between pulleys the deflection made 5-10 mm. Not weakening a tension of a belt, it is necessary to tighten a nut and a bolt of fastening of the generator.
On cars with the tension device it is necessary to watch not drawing a belt, and on the models which have been not equipped by the tension device, it is possible to use the lever for a tension of a belt at moving the generator from the engine. To put on or remove a belt from pulleys it is necessary with use only wooden or plastic levers.

The pump of the steering hydraulic booster. Replacement drivebelt of the pump of the steering hydraulic booster is similarly carried out. Difference consists in a different arrangement buckles and adjusting bolts and nuts. At V-shaped engines access to the pump of the steering hydraulic booster is better, than at straight the engine.

The compressor of a central air. At cars on which the compressor fastens on buckle for possible regulation, replacement drivebelts is similar to their replacement by the liquid pump (generator). However the deflection of a belt should be only 1-2 mm.
At models of cars on which the compressor is installed motionlessly, the tension of a belt is carried out by a choice of number of adjusting washers which are installed between components of a pulley for change of a stream of a pulley of a cranked shaft.
For removal drivebelt it is necessary to turn away a pulley from a nave, to remove components of a pulley and a washer then the belt can be removed. At installation of a belt it is necessary to pick up washers of corresponding thickness. Thus it is necessary to consider, that at installation of washers between components of a pulley the tension of a belt decreases, and in front increases. After selection of internal washers the remained washers can be installed in a forward part of a pulley for their further use.

Replacement of belt of gas-distribution mechanism (GDM)
Replacement of belts GDM concerns to difficult technical operation which should be carried out at presence of the special equipment and the tool. As a rule, these works are carried out at carrying out of the big maintenance service. Besides replacement of belts of gas-distribution mechanism at a plenty of cars occurs to replacement of rollers, a pomp and omentums. Features of works depend on mark of the car and conditions of operation. It is necessary to be convinced of correctness of selection of a belt as on some engines belts of different types are installed, from a various kind tooth . If deterioration of an old belt is great so, that is not clear, what tooth were, it is necessary to be defined on tooth of pinion gear a cam-shaft.

Generalize procedure of replacement of belt GDM (without taking into account mark of the car) can be presented as follows:
Removal of belt GDM:
• To switch-off a wire of "weight" from the accumulator battery. To turn away fastening a casing of the fan, to remove the fan. To remove a casing of the fan.
drivebelts.
• To remove a pulley of the water pump.
• To turn away fixing bolts, to remove a cover drivebelt .
• To turn away a nut of the tension device and to wring out supporting roller back. To block a spring in the given position.
• To turn away fixing bolts and to remove a pulley of a cranked shaft.
• Cautiously to remove a belt.
Belt it is necessary to replace everyone of 45000, 60000, 72000, 90000 km of run (depending on the engine of the car). It is necessary to replace it also in case it has frayed, has become impregnated with oil or if it has been installed on the car, being some time for preservation.
Installation of belt GDM:
• If at the removed belt was set in motion a cranked shaft, intermediate or a camshaft for maintenance of corresponding position of valves and installations of the moments of ignition to expose each shaft on labels as follows .
And. To turn a cranked shaft so that a label on a cogwheel of a drive of a belt coincided with a label on a forward cover (position of 12 hours).
. To turn an intermediate shaft so that a point on a cogwheel of a drive of an additional shaft coincided with a label on a back cover drivebelt (position 4 hours).
Century To turn a camshaft so that the label on a cogwheel of a drive of an internal belt coincided with a label on a forward cover of valves (position of 12 hours).
• To install drivebelt all over again on cogwheels (to use sharp adaptations it is not recommended), and then on a roller of the tension device. On new belts there are labels. Lines on drivebelt should coincide with labels on cranked to a shaft. The following label should coincide with a label on intermediate to a shaft. To weaken a nut of the tension device (sagging of a belt the spring will remove). To crackdown a nut of the tension device.
• Having turned a cranked shaft clockwise on 1 full turn, it is necessary to be convinced, that adjusting labels coincide still.
• To clear a surface of a cover drivebelt and to install a new lining. The ordered moment to tighten bolts.
• To install a pulley of the water pump, drivebelts, the compressor of the conditioner, the pump of the hydraulic booster of a steering drive and the generator.
• To install the fan and its casing. To install belts of a drive of units. To connect a wire of "weight" to an accumulator battery. To start the engine. To watch, that there were no leaks.

drivebelts of your car:
The basic requirements /Part 2/.


Belts of a drive of auxiliary units.

As it is specified above, happen V-belts and Poly-V-belts (they flat, they stream). Let's try compare their advantages and lacks.

V- belts though are considered as archaism, have some conclusive advantages. They are much cheaper flat, easily vary and actuate, as a rule one auxiliary unit. That is, at breakage, say, drivebelt of the compressor of the conditioner, other auxiliary units will continue to work. Besides V- belts stretch simple displacement of pulleys from each other so, application of tension and directing rollers do not demand. In an emergency situation V- belt it is possible to try to replace a belt any improvised means, for example, a piece of a cord or an old stocking. V- belts it is possible to carry a low resource and necessity to lacks to regulate their tension in process of their deterioration.

Poly-V-belts are considered as more modern and on the majority of cars of last years of release they are applied. Poly-V-belts it is possible to carry greater service life to advantages, than at V- belts, automatic adjustment of their tension by means of roller belt tension and ability to transmit much greater effort, than V- belts that enables to actuate all auxiliary units by means of one Poly-V-belt, as, for example, in engine AAA (VR6) from Volkswagen. However, in my opinion, all advantages Poly-V-belts turn around also their lacks. Poly-V-belts in times are more expensive V- belts, at their replacement it is necessary to change one or several tension and directing rollers, and sometimes and belt tension with a roller in gathering. Breakage Poly-V-belt actuating all auxiliary units leads to impossibility to continue movement because to go with idle simultaneously the generator, the pump of the hydraulic booster and a pomp of system of cooling of the engine do not impossibil. However, to motor-car manufacturers is more visible, and V- belts depart in the past, superseded Poly-V-belts. By the way, I shall notice, that interests of motor-car manufacturers and automobile owners at all always coincide, therefore not the fact, that flat belts really so it is better V- belts, how much they are more expensive.

Though so strict demands as to belts GDM, their duly replacement assists to avoid set of fine troubles as that also are not made to belts of a drive of auxiliary units: drivings without the hydraulic booster of a rudder, driving without the generator on the accumulator, drivings in a heat without the conditioner and, at last, standings on a roadside pending while will be cooled down "begun to boil" as a result of breakage drivebelt of a water pomp with the engine. Therefore to change belts of a drive of auxiliary units it is necessary, as well as belts GDM, according to instructions of a manufacturer. Together with Poly-V-belts tension and directing rollers without fail are a subject to replacement. To avoid unpleasant surprises use only original drivebelt and rollers.

drivebelts of your car: The basic requirements

_________________________________________________________
drivebelts of your car:
The basic requirements
In modern cars some kinds drivebelts are applied.
Here we shall consider only major of them, not touching such exotic, as for example, variator belts.
To destination they can be undressed into 2 groups:
- Belts of a drive of gas-distribution mechanism (belts GDM)
- Belts of a drive of auxiliary units.

On a design on 3 kinds: gas-distribution mechanism
- Gear belts. Are applied, as a rule, to a drive of mechanism GDM
- Flat Poly-V- belts. Are applied to a drive of auxiliary units
- V-belts. Are applied to a drive of auxiliary units.

Part 1. Belts of a drive of the gas-distribution mechanism

To belts GDM the highest requirements by way of reliability and longevity because breakage of belt GDM conducts to very serious to consequences in the form of fault valves, heads of the block of cylinders and, sometimes, pistons are applied. Differently, breakage of a belt, cost up to 50 dollars leads to repair in cost not less than 1500 dollars. Conversations that, say, there are engines in which design the opportunity of breakage of belt GDM is specially stipulated and on such engines breakage of any catastrophic consequences does not carry all, are no more, than the bosh which has been thought up for self-complacency by those to whom it is banal it is a pity money for servicing of the car.

Therefore:
Use only original belts GDM. In this case no economy can cover consequences of breakage of poor-quality, defective or counterfeit belt GDM.

Change belt GDM strictly according to recommendations of the manufacturer. It is written " to change time in 80 000 km ", means we change time in 80 000 km. Any reasonings of irresponsible "masters" a theme that " it "looks as new and still resembles " in calculation to accept does not follow. Anybody from these "masters" subsequently will not make to you repair at own expense.

Always change all tension and directing rollers of belt GDM. Besides, any assurances that " this roller 100 000 more will pass" in calculation to accept does not follow for the reasons specified above. Keep in mind, that, for example, BMW in the recommendations specifies, that in case of removal of belt GDM for any reason, it is a subject to replacement, without dependence from when it changed before.

Do not rely on the memory. Write down run of the car at the moment of replacement of belt GDM. For this purpose there are the special tablets-labels pasted on a visible place in a motor compartment of the car.

Replacement of belt GDM is better to make at the authorized dealers. I am far from an idea, that the authorized dealer is the best variant among car-care centers, but for the works they even give a guarantee and, in case of problems with belt GDM, you can take advantage of this guarantee.

If you managed the second-hand car with unknown history at once change not only oil, but also belt GDM (if it, certainly, on the given engine is). Selling the second-hand car people are not inclined to invest in preselling preparation.
