TD5 Serpentine Belt Replacement

(1/3) > >>

Paul:
I'm changing the Serpentine belt on the Discovery tomorrow,
It's starting to make a very annoying squeel that goes after a
mile or so but it starting to get worse.

Anyone know if it has a self tentioning pulley on it like to 300tdi.?

Do I need any special tools.?
Anyone know the Part Number.?

clouseau:
Don't know about that but the easiest way to find out is get a torch and give the belt a yank - if it has a self tensioner you will see it move - note direction in which it moves to ascertain direction for relaesing tension

muddyweb:
I would think it almost certainly has a self-tensioner.

The direction will be "in"  ;-)

For mine, I don't need any special tools.  If it's got a plastic tensioner wheel, be very careful not to lever too hard on it.. they will snap.

Paul:
Just had a quick look, Spotted a self tentioning pulley that is
mounted down to the left and looks a little hard to get to. :(

Six pulleys in total, Must take a photo before I remove it so
I can get it back on the same.

Part Number Anyone.?

Paul:
Found the Part Number,

Off to buy a PQS 101510 tomorrow.
