Renault clio f reg fan belt ajustment help?
Answers:
For this job you will need to have a spanner that fits the mountings for the alternator, which is driven by the fan belt. Once the alternator bolts are loosened it can be slid inwards to loosen the fan belt or enable the new one to be fitted. Once loose fit the new belt and then pull alternator out to put tension on the belt, tighten bolts. The belt should not move more than 6mm
My clio's an M reg and recently my fan belt snapped off too.i only realised because it was turning the generator round so the battery wasnt gettin charged and my battery was nearly out! I went to the local garage ha a new fan belt fitted it cost around £20 no more :))
get daddy 2 help lol
undo the alternator so it slips forwards and backwards (dont remove the bolts)
put your new belt on over the pulleys and pull the alternator the opposite direction use a hammershaft between the engine and alternator to get a good tension and tighten the bolts.
check the tension in the middle of the belt and make sure it can move up or down quarter inch tighten or slacken alternator to desired quarter inch
drive for 500 miles and keep checking and retighten as needed.
thats an interesting question but hard to understand lol
