Title: TD5 Serpentine Belt Replacement
Post by: Paul on December 16, 2004, 16:01:35: 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.?

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.

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.?
