Aux Belt On R34 Gtt

[B-Boi34]

Hi guys

I noticed last night that one of my aux belts is not sitting correctly on the pulley.

Can anyone identify what belt this is & advice the best way to get it back on & sitting right. Do i need to remove the pulley?

Thanks in advance

Thats odd, it shouldnt walk off the pulley unless it wasnt fitted correctly??... Should be your power steer pump and NO you dont need to remove the pulley to fix it, just back of the adjustment, correct it and then re-tighten!

Yeah not sure if it wasn't fitted properly or if its gradually been moving over, only had to car 2 weeks.

Where abouts it the tensioner? Is it easier to go from under the car?

Thanks for the info

It wont walk mate, there are 5 or so grooves in it to hold it still UNLESS the Pwr Str pump is lose but i highly doubt that!!! Ill go have a look at mine and let you know.....

Just had a quick look, take your airbox snorkal off to make it easy to get too firstly.... Then have a look at the pump and you will see the adjuster

Maybe the pulley bearing is going?

Maybe the pulley bearing is going?

Not in this case mate, its the power steer pump, if the bearing went he would have oil everywhere and no power assistance..... Just looks like it wasnt fitted correctly as there is no other way it could really happen!

No worries, didnt do it too tight tho? Shoulda mentioned that....

[B-Boi34]

No I did it as tight as the other 2 belts were. Hopefully thats alright.

As long as there is some deflection? Too tight puts a lot of strain on the pump itself and bearings etc......

[B-Boi34]

Yeah there is a bit of deflection & so far it seems to still be place not trying to run off like before.
