Can't Figue out How Adjust Steering pump Belt?

<< < (2/3) > >>

Sharpshooter:
To both of you i would say that you need to inspect the pulleys. If you use the vehicle for off roading, then getting mud on the belts causes a Cutting paste effect on them. The belts get changed, but the pulleys dont.

On my 200Tdi disco the belts are seperate, but i do have a kenlowe fan fitted, so this may be different. Or perhaps im wrong. I cant remember now.

The old trick used to be to put a small (I mean small) amount of Brake fluid on ther belt to give it a bit more grip.

Have you used the correct belts? and are they genuine ones?

If the belt doesnt fit in the groove of the puleys correctly, then this could cause a problem.

I would firstly advise on changing the Power steering fluid.

Then make sure when you start you have everything possible turned off.

Sharpshooter:
Nev. The bolts on the power steering pump are as follows. Three of them hold it to the bracket. On mounts it to the block, and the other is on the adjuster.

Does your pump have a small square cut out on the mounting plate. If so then this is to put a 3/8 drive knuckle bar in to adjust it with.

Just slacken the Adjuster bolt, and the ones holding it to the engine. The others should be left alone.
