Power Steel Belt Adjustment New Belt

[BumBle02]

Hi  To all how do you adjust the power steeling belt got a new one to put on is it like a alternator slider not done one on a voyager 2.8 crd would appreciate some info on it first. My new baby is doing well all new sensors filters oil new  Driss and pads new tyres full unseal job done no rust good clean chassis. Gearbox to day oil and filter and my sucking pump will stop me getting oil all over me I hope by the way its done 134500 miles and the engine is as sweet as nut so far thanks for all the help so far.

Just done my power steeling belt on a 2.5 crd engine witch i think are similar to the 2.8  had to get a tool to do the job as there is no adjustment for the belt got quotes 35 to 90 pounds for the tool but got one from ebay for a tenner done the job hope this helps. look on ebay for a laser Stretchy Belt Installation Tool .

Hope the gearbox oil change went ok today pal!

 

We'll need the diesel owners to confirm but if it follows the pattern on the 3.3 petrol its a tensioner bearing, so it's a matter of release the tension (don't know on the diesel - 1/2" socket set arm in the tensioner on mine) get belt far enough off off, gently let go of the tool, old belt fully off, thread the new belt around, then move the tensioner again to get the belt on the last bit. Mine was easier from underneath - jacked up well - and last pulley on was the AC at the front.

Hi Yes heve a look today see if it comes of like yours and yes I did the gearbox oil and filter the new pump was no help with the taking out the oil from the dipstick couldn't get a good amount of oil so did the usual way got oil on me again all ways do it but putting the oil in with the pump worked  well taking head lights out today for a polish up and it goes on thanks you the info. Had a idea with the suction pipe that goes in the sump got some small bore aluminium tube that might help with the oil suction as it's straight. Cut a angled corner at bottom as I think  the plastic tube is curling up in the sump will let you know if it is the case anything to make life easy.
