Accessory Drive Belt
Check the drive belt condition at 160,000 km (100,000 miles) then after every 24,000 km (15,000 miles).
Belt Tensioner
Automatic tensioners are calibrated to provide the correct amount of tension to the belt for a given accessory drive system. Unless a spring or damping
band within the tensioner assembly breaks, or some other mechanical part fails, there is no need to check the tensioner for correct tension.
