Kia Cee'd: Timing System / Drive Belt Repair procedures
1. |
Disconnect the battery negative terminal.
|
2. |
Loosen the alternator tension adjusting bolt (A) to loosen tension.

Drive Belt Inspection
Visually check the belt for excessive wear, frayed cords etc.
If any defect has been found, replace the drive belt.
Cracks on the rib side of a belt are considered acceptable. If the belt
has chunks missing from the ribs, it should be replaced.

Drive belt tension measurement and adjustment
Measure the belt tension using a mechanical tension gauge or a sonic tension
meter.
Tension
New belt: 686.5 ~ 784.5N (70 ~ 80kg, 154.3 ~ 176.4lb)
Used belt: 490.3 ~ 588.4N (50 ~ 60kg, 110.2 ~ 132.3lb)
|
• |
If the engine has run for 5 minutes or more, the belt tension
must be adjusted as a used belt.
|
• |
When installing the V-ribbed belt, all grooves on the pulley
should be covered with belt ribs.
|
• |
A loose belt causes slip noise.
|
• |
Too tight belt cause bearing of alternator and water pump to
damage.

While pressing the handle (A) of the gauge, insert the belt (B) between
pulley and pulley (or idler) into the gap between spindle (C) and hook
(D).

|
2. |

the indicator (B).

|
Using a sonic tension meter
|
1. |
Input the belt specifications into the tension meter.
