How to check and adjust the tension on the drive belt on Pontiac Phoenix?

In case of the V6 engine, the air conditioning compressor is driven directly off of the crankshaft as a belt-driven component, and off of the water pump pulley in case of L4 engine. The belt must be tense enough to avoid twisting it excessively on its shafts and bearings. To identify the tension, disconnect the negative battery cable then find out which part of the belt can move most freely without resistance. This stretch should only move about f-in (13 mm). If it moves more than that, you need to adjust it by moving the compressor outwards from the engine through loosening up adjusting bolts for the compressor and mounting bolts. Tighten bolts and recheck adjustment. However, in case NC compressor drive belt is frayed or cracked, it should be replaced. In case equipped with one remove power steering drivebelt first from L4 engines then generator belt. Remove generator belt first from VG engines then power steering pump drivebelt if equipped. Loosen adjusting bolts for NC compressor then move towards engine until loose enough to remove from pulleys. Place a new belt over top of NC compressor, water pump, and crankshaft (V6) and adjust/ tighten accordingly. Finally reinstall generator and power steering pump belts/adjust/tighten them.

Pontiac Phoenix Drive Belt

The Drive Belt used in Pontiac Phoenix is a part that allows engine to drive other parts like the alternator and Air conditioner compressor. Usually, a serpentine belt is used to link these parts with the crankshaft pulley so that motion and power can be efficiently transmitted. Pontiac Phoenix Drive Belts' standard life expectancy is about 100000 miles, yet the first indicators of wear such as fracturing or fraying that are noticed would require replacements to avoid straining on the parts and the engines. Different types of Drive Belts are used in different applications with available choices like V-belts, multi-groove belts, and timing belts having special features like enhanced grip, flexibility, and non-slip feature. Thus, the Drive Belt is cheaper, easy to service, and forgiving of misalignment, though it transfers less power than gears or chains. But, inventiveness in belt type such as toothed belt and other variants like the spring belt and film belt have boosted their applicability and they are now a necessity in the current mechanical systems.

Each OEM Pontiac Phoenix Drive Belt we offer is competitively priced and comes with the assurance of the manufacturer's warranty for the part. Furthermore, we guarantee the speedy delivery of your orders right to your doorstep. Our hassle-free return policy is also in place for your peace of mind.
