V70: Engine - Auxiliary belt fitting

Model flyer · Jun 2nd, 2014, 20:01

Has anyone fitted a pair of auxiliary belts to a v70 se 2.4 2009 model? The main belt is a doddle with a tensioner. This drives the power steering pump and alternator . The drive to the air con pump is taken from a double pulley on the power steering pump and these two pumps are bolted together with no apparent adjustment for the belt . This worked fine but now we want to change the belts and fitting the new one is a bit tricky with way no way to slacken the adjustment to allow fitting ? I am considering undoing the pulley on the p/s pump to get the slack to fit the new belt over the pulley. Any other suggestions welcome .

Turn the belts as you push it on. It should gardually works it's way on. That's how I did it when I changed mine!
