Semmysonic Posted September 23, 2016 Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 Quick question, how easy is it to change the Aux belt and pulley on a 06 3.3 gv? The bearings are on the way out was just wandering if anyone has tackled it, looks a bit fiddly because of where it is, any advice would be much appreciated.

0 bignev Posted September 23, 2016 Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 Do it with 2 of you!!When I did mine and the alternator (noisy bearings) it took me longer to get the belt back on that swap the alternator - about 45 minutes!!I was at it from top and underneath repeatedly as it kept falling off again.I used a 1/2" drive socket strong arm to lever the tensioner. The problem I also had was the idler pulley bearing was wrong from all the auto factors, including the usually sound guys on ebay!Actual part number is 04792581AB. The rest was awkward but not a complete nightmare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Semmysonic Posted September 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2016 Thanks for that, alternator is Ok its the bearing in the idler that's getting a bit noisy, so figured I'd change the belt while I'm messing about. figured it would be awkward, might give it a go, I expect lots of swearing and cut knuckles :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Semmysonic Posted October 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2016 All done, sort of. Had the wrong size belt, so had to refit the old one while I order another. Why does every motor factor site state the wrong length, I've checked 3 and all showed the same length belt. I've ended up ordering one off ebay.

0 Semmysonic Posted October 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2016 My thoughts exactly, ended up having to get the idle pulley from Germany, the postage cost more than the pulley! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
