Accessory Drive - TDV6 3.0L Diesel (G1858865): Description

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

Drive Belt

The accessory drive belt drives the following components:

The engine coolant pump
The air conditioning compressor
The generator

Belt Tensioner

The accessory drive belt is designed to achieve fit-for-life performance during normal use. The belt has a rib profile to provide high dimensional accuracy. The surface of the ribs is specially treated to reduce noise.

The belt tensioner is calibrated to provide the correct amount of tension to the belt for the drive system. Unless a spring within the tensioner assembly breaks, or some other mechanical part of the tensioner fails, there is no need to check the accessory drive belt tension. The belt tensioner also provides the means to remove and install the drive belt. The belt tensioner can be rotated with a wrench against its spring to the end-stop to assist in removal and installation of the drive belt.
