Replacing the generator belt tensioner roller.

To feel behind the wheel, much more confident, it is necessary not only to have an idea of \u200b\u200bthe structure of the car, but also to be able to, if necessary, make certain manipulations with its constituents, for example, change the wheel, and so on.

Replacing the roller of the tension belt of the generator is not the simplest, at first glance, the task, but it is only at first glance. If you figure it out, there is nothing difficult in this process.

But having mastered the skills of this operation, you can save a large amount that would be required when handling the appropriate repair per service station.

What is the replacement of the tension roller of the generator belt?

Everyone knows that the engine of the car is the "heart" of the Iron horse. And the engine function lies not only in the car just driving.

To lift the hood, and you will see that the car's motor is fluent in a variety of various devices. These devices cope with their functions only because "feed on" from the engine.

Now look at the front of the engine. The crankshaft has a three-row pulley (maybe one-row, and double row), it is associated with a soft belt transmission with:

  • cooling system by applying
  • air conditioning,
  • steering wheel hydraulic
  • generator
  • gas distribution mechanism.

The performance of almost each of the listed devices is simply impossible without a generator. - This is another source of energy, and the stable operation of this source is impossible without the necessary belt tension.

The degree of tension of this belt in modern cars is just adjusting the generator belt roller, so the replacement of the tension roller of the generator belt - the procedure is very important and sometimes extremely necessary.

The main aspects of the replacement of the roller of the tensioner of the generator belt.

Currently, the modifications of the tension rollers of the generator exist several, the simplest of them is a roller with a displaced center. The belt tension in it occurs when the eccentric is rotated, and fixation - with a bolt.

Another option assumes the installation of a roller to a movable bracket, here the bolt is already not a retainer, but a belt tension tool.

Example of the location of the tensioning roller on Fiat Palio 2v:

  1. leading pulley
  2. flat washer
  3. drive belt
  4. roller
  5. tension roller adjustable

Be that as it may, follow the serviceability of the tensioning roller in any of its modifications. And if malfunctions are detected, the roller should be replaced.
