V-belt check
No special tool required. Required replacement parts:
- 1 V-belt. The length of the belt depends on the type of engine. Consider when buying.
Reduced tension of the V-belt leads to its rapid wear or failure. If the tension is too high, bearing failures of the respective units may occur.
- The V-belt must be replaced if there is: increased wear, frayed sidewalls, traces of oil, porosity, transverse cracks and tears.
- Check V-belt tension, replace and tighten, see paragraph 1.21.
Attention: Check the tension of the newly installed V-belt again after 10 minutes of operation.
Toothed belt replacement
Serious engine damage can result if the work is not done properly. Therefore, you need to follow the guidelines exactly. Timing belt replacement is described in section "Engine".
