Caution

Risk of damage through reversing the rotation direction of an already used V-ribbed belt.

If it is intended to re-install the V-ribbed belt, mark the direction of rotation with chalk or a felt-tip pen before removing it.

–	Slacken the screw for the guide pulley/V-ribbed belt -arrow- until the V-ribbed belt can be easily removed.

–	Remove the V-ribbed belt.

Install

Installation is performed in the reverse order, pay attention to the following points:

Note

Before fitting the V-ribbed belt make sure that all assemblies (generator and AC compressor) are securely mounted.

–	First position the V-ribbed belt on the belt pulleys of the crankshaft and AC compressor and last on the belt pulley of the generator.

1 -	Crankshaft-belt pulley

2 -	Guide pulley

3 -	AC generator

4 -	AC compressor

–	Coat the guide surfaces for the guide pulley with the grease G 052 751 A1.

–	Guide the guide pulley with the bolt into the guide in the bracket for auxiliary units.

–	Screw in the screw for the guide pulley -arrow- until the bolt of the guide pulley is located at the stop (this tensions the V-ribbed belt).

–	Subsequently slacken the screw -arrow- again by ¹/₄ turn, tighten again to 30 Nm + torque a further 90° (¹/₄ turn).

–	Check whether the end of the screw for the guide pulley/V-ribbed belt protrudes beyond the contact surface of the guide pulley. Dimension -a- = approx. 2.5 mm.
