Replacement

The drive to the engine auxiliary components is transmitted through the single Poly V belt. This belt is tensioned by an automatic tensioner: therefore it is unnecessary to check tensioning.

Replacement

• Set the car on a lift.
• Remove the right front wheel and mud flap.
• Visually check that the belt is intact and in particular for the absence of:
  • c chips
  • cracks
  • surface wear of the material (which appears smooth and shiny)
  • dry or stiff parts (lack of adherence).

In the presence of any one of the above defects, replace the belt.

WARNING: Contact of the belt with oil or solvents may compromise the elasticity of the belt rubber and reduce its adherence.

1. Working with a wrench on the belt tensioner pulley fastening screw, overcome the force of the automatic tensioner and lock it in this position (belt slack) inserting the special peg as illustrated.

2. Prise and remove the auxiliary components belt.

• Assemble a new belt reversing the sequence followed for removal.

CHANGING THE AIR CLEANER CARTRIDGE

• Disconnect the battery (-) terminal.
• Remove the engine compartment trim on the left hand side

1. Slacken the two clamps fastening the resounder to the corrugated sleeve.
