The V-belt is used to drive the water pump.
Removal
When reinstalling the belt, use a marker or paint to mark the direction of belt rotation with an arrow.
Reduce the tension of the power steering pump, alternator and radiator fan drive belt. Use a steel rod to secure the belt tension roller in the retracted position.
Using a 5mm diameter steel rod, secure the radiator fan pulley from turning and unscrew and remove the radiator fan from the back of the pulley (see fig. 2.87).
Unscrew the water pump V-belt pulley. To prevent the pulley from turning, use a steel rod or screwdriver to secure the power steering pump pulley while unscrewing the bolts (see fig. 2.88).
Remove the V-belt.
Installation
Install the V-belt.
Gradually and evenly tighten the V-belt pulley onto the water pump.
Rotate the water pump pulley by hand to properly seat the V-belt in the pulley grooves.
Tighten the water pump pulley mounting bolts to 25 Nm. There is no need to adjust the V-belt tension.
Install the radiator fan and place the V-belt on the radiator fan pulley.
Screw the radiator fan with a bolt, tightening it to a torque of 45 Nm, while fixing the bushing with a 5x60 mm screw (see fig. 2.87).
Install the power steering pump, alternator and radiator fan drive belt and adjust its tension.
