Car care and technical information
Drive belts
The alternator is situated on the right-hand
side of the engine, adjacent to the bulkhead.
It is driven via a Poly-V-belt from the crank-
shaft pulley.
The Poly-V-belt also drives the water pump,
the A/C compressor and the steering servo
pump.
The belt tension is critical and is adjusted
automatically by the belt tensioner.
See also page 59, ”Warning, charging”.
WARNING
• Keep hands and clothing clear of drive
belts when engine is running.
• Always stop the engine before
inspecting drive belt.
• The radiator fan is electric and can
start even when the engine is
switched off.
NOTICE
Serious damage can be done to the car’s
electrical system if an alternator lead is
disconnected while the engine is running.
