Wedge and PK belt are also important for car

Replacing the drive belt-alternator and is one of the simplest things you need to do an amateur mechanic. However, first: worth paying attention to a few rules when changing, other: it is better to work in the garage, and not on the way.

In older cars procedure to tighten and replace the belt will require more effort than the mechanics. Mnogi automobili su imali demontažne remenice, and the belt tension is adjusted by adding or removing shims between side pulley (ie. change their diameter). In the other model was a way to manually pull alternator and quickly "catch" in the right position, sometimes it was not easy.

Belt can change yourself ?

Can this you replace the belt yourself? definitely yes, but in this case, remember a few rules. First of all: nema potrebe za preciznim podešavanjem u odnosu jedne remenice u odnosu na drugu – kao u razvodnom mehanizmu – pogonska remenica radilice i remenice koji primaju pogon (alternator, Power Steering Pump, air conditioning compressor, sometimes compressor engine). These devices operate without synchronization. other, It's better to do it slowly in the garage than on the road in the dark. The main problem is lack of space. So it is better not to rush, Keep good lighting and more tools at hand (one can, na primer, ispostaviti da se na zatezač može staviti samo okrugao ključ, because the fork does not fit).

Newer cars often use automatic tensioners

Automatic tensioners have become very widespread. They work much like the belt timing mounted in the control system. They may be in the form of a roll spring located in the interior or to be used, na primer, from external stretched spring.

As the name suggests, do not have to regularly check the state of tension the belt as this is done automatically. Of course, vredi obratiti pažnju da li radi ispravno … automatsko španovanje.

Some belts continue to tighten, španuju, ručno. This requires kontrolu, ali je i jednostavno – ne morate ručno da pomerate alternator, but only by
adjustment screw, set the device to tighten in the correct position.

When you change the belt? Is it worth it to change the tensioners?

Manufacturers often state interval replacement belt accessories (usually around 90-120.000 km). Because of the low price strapless, worth adhere to this interval. Often you will also find that the belt or even belt pulleys must be changed at the same time. Is it really necessary? If you is, above all, care for low noise and prefer to pay one, rather than repeatedly doing the same job! Sustainability is not a big chain tensioner, najslabije karika su ležajevi – iako su takozvani zatvoreni, ali rade u mnogo lošijim uslovima od onih u razvodnim mehanizmima – izloženi su vodi, dust, etc..

Kaiš “govori” za druge uređaje

Kaiš može takođe zahtevati intervenciju izvan intervala zamene. Često se dešava da škripa – neugodni zvukovi mogu da se pojave odmah nakon starta, For example, during rain, or have the engine. really, sometimes I band responsible for such a situation. Often, however, This means that it must overcome great resistance device and therefore is noisy. In many models, alternators are not very durable. Increased resistance is manifested by sliding and squeaking belt. Similar symptoms may be caused by the significant weakening of the battery (after filling, alternator is very loaded). whistling (but the typical noise of worn bearings) takođe može biti rezultat zaglavljivanja ležaja rolera ili španera, na primer, damage to the pump power steering.

forces stringing? never too!

The worst thing you can do to eliminate squeaks tapes (and also by placing a strip) its voltage is too strong. This will certainly help, but only in the short term. This will quickly lead to bearing damage components (usually bearing alternator).

Checking belt tension is very important in cars with manual tensioners and flexible strips. Under pressure from the thumb wheels must be the outermost bend around 1 cm.

Is it possible to continue the journey if the belt breaks?

It depends on the aggregate. The worst is at the pump for liquid (if it launched a belt for accessories, but not with a cam) - the more you'll come to overheating engine, trying to be "cool" is wasted effort, Unless you have literally several kilometers to the house . No air conditioning compressor is not a problem, as well as servo pump (although maneuvering the car will be much harder). Worse, such as, na primer, došlo do curenja u sistemu servo upravljača – pumpa ne može da radi suvo. Some vehicles may be equipped with shorter belts that bypasses the damaged device. Pitanje alternatora ostaje – smanjenje potrošnje energije će omogućiti vožnju bez kaiša za nekoliko desetina kilometara.

Sometimes they drive as additional equipment would be V-belts, but many years ago have been largely replaced by more channel belts PK belts. Novije rešenje ima brojne prednosti – to je prije svega mnogo bolje prianjanje kaišana remenicu i lakše oblikovanje remena (ability to work on small pulleys, use of a belt with a much longer length), transfer higher power (vožnja svih uređaja – klima uređaj, help , generator with the single-lane). PK belts work quietly and reliable as of the V-belts.
theoretically, zanemarivanje kontrole ili blagovremena zamena remena ne bi trebalo da ima neugodne posljedice – u najvećem broju slučajeva doći će do pucanja, and if we have Machine Spare belt, we mounted a new and after half an hour we will go further. Ali neće se sva akcija okončati bezbolno – najvažniji problem je mogućnost da usled pucanja kaiša dodatne opreme kod nekih motor može upasti ispod zupčastog kaiša i oštetiti zupčasti kaiš. To, course, ima posledice koje nisu predvidlive. It is also not always possible to replace the belt in field conditions, which can incapacitate car.

On some engines will not find the belt tensioners. The removal procedure is simple . For the installation of a new belt should use a special tool. Depending on the model of car, device is used a little differently, tool to be mounted on a pulley, so that when you rotate the crankshaft, Kaisa "škljocne" in its place. remark: tape is not elastic enough to be stretched hands. Attempts "nameštanaj" with a screwdriver often result in damage to belt or pulley.
