AUXILIARY MEMBERS' BELT

The command to the auxiliary members of the engine is transmitted through a single belt of the Poly V type.
The tightening of the above-mentioned belt occurs through an automatic tightener: therefore the tightening check is not required.

Replacement

  • Place the car onto the carlift.
  • Remove the front righthand wheel and corresponding fender.
  • Visually check the integrity of the belt and in particular the absence of cuts, cracks, surface wear and tear of the material and of dried and stiffened parts.
    In case just one of the above-mentioned defects may occur, replace the belt.

ATTENTION: The contact of the belt with oil or solvents can damage the elasticity of the belt rubber and reduce its adhesion.
