- In this video we investigate the strange noise coming from our Land Rover Discovery 4 SDV6 3.0L Diesel engine, it turns out to be the front fan belt / drive belt tensioner. We have a go at working out how to remove the old one and fit the new one. This is the same on the Range Rover Sport with the 3 litre Diesel engine.
Thanks for the video! I have the exact same issue and as soon as I get the part, going to follow your steps. Was worried at first but now you have made it look so much easier!
good luck - its not a tricky job...are you the first Lord to watch my videos !
Thanks again, got the job done today. Drove home with the windows open to hear the engine purring away in silence. Interestingly, the bearing on mine (in the black runner) was fine, it was the spring loaded section that had separated and was the issue.
@@L663 the fan bolt is too tight! It makes me crazy, when I see all videos about this, people manages to unscrew, mine is impossible !
@@comedefleurieu315 Do you turn the right side ???
@@michelbonnet3787 yes ! I managed to do it by sitting on the engine bay and pushing with my legs! It was crazy tight!
Informative and easy to follow, watched this vid last night, changed the belt tensioner today, was really good tips, made my job very easy, took less than an hour start to finish, cheers from from down under 👍
Glad it helped
Thank you so much for taking the effort to make these videos. They are awesome!
Glad you like them!
Holy smoke what a job!!! My 4.0 Litre V6 petrol takes about 5 minutes to get off (even for an amateur)...Good Luck!
Thx for the video. Dont hesitate to read first the technical documentation to know what to exactly remove to access the parts.Doc is available online.
Great video, solved my problem! Thanks!!!
ordered the kit from you and had ago at doing the job myself. so glad i did it, so much quieter
Great video. Thanks guys. Thank you also for showing the difference between the different “size” tensioners. I have a question though. I am looking for a new tensioner (not yet ready to get original part). The problem though is that the width of the actual pulley on my LR disco 4 is 29mm. The only one I can get is one with a width of 31 mm. I don’t know if there was an upgrade and/or if it matter of I put the on on with the 31mm. It would be great if you guys can let me know what the size of yours is. I know, it means measuring with a vernier, but it would help greatly. If you can’t help, thanks for the very informative videos.
Thank you for this video. It's not necessary to undo the rigid air pipe, there is enough room to slide the souple one under it. It's also easier to remove the air box before to unscrew the fan (that gives more room too). The most difficult part of the job for me was to refit the belt, reused as quite new but not as souple as a new one.
I have a question : Did you ever replaced (when not too late !) only the ball bearing (6302RS) like on 300 Tdi engines ?
Thanks in advance.
Am I correct in saying that the little black pin/ tiny bit of plastic stays in the bottom on the new tensioner? 🤔
Just a bolt on plug and play tensioner?
I'll be tackling this over the coming days as mine is vibrating a fair bit.
where is the link to buy these tools?
Guys, I See at least three length of the auxiliary belt (2053mm, 2100mm and 2102mm). Which one has the right length for SDV6 Eur6 from 11/2015 ? Thanks
I’m also confused with this
How do you change the belt at the back of the engine?
Can you make a video on how to change 2004 range rover speedometer sensor HSE 4.4 please
great vid but never put bolts in dry !
when i first started in a workshop some thirty years ago the owner of the coach company who was also the chief mechanic said " lad " always put some oil or grease on the bolt threads,it may be you that has to undo it next time !!
always an odd one as some people put threadlock on... to stop them coming undone ! more or less friction... take your choice ?
powerfulukltd I am contemplating buying a range rover sport 2006,on a bit of a budget , 2.7 any good ?
Its a lot of car for the money as prices have dropped. As ever get the best you can afford as engines are expensive to replace.
I know of a lot of people who do this, but it's NOT considered good 'engineering' practice.
Think about it.
The reason that a bolt locks is due to the 'friction' that is applied to both surfaces of the bolt and nut when tightened.
If one puts any lubricant on the thread (other than anti-seize) it compromises the integrity of the friction lock which in turn, makes it easier for the bolt to come undone.
Now, you might say ... 'well that's what I want' ... the bolt to come undone without a lot of effort.
That sounds good in theory ... but do you want bolts coming undone by themselves?
I've heard of caravaners using grease on their wheel nuts only to find the wheels departing from their vans whilst in transit.😬
Back to the video ... great video as usual guys.
Just one thing ... you were going to put a link to the couple of laser cut fan spanners?
Interesting video, thanks for sharing
What's the proper name of the cable harness which was connected to the engine fan
Hi, how does the fan nut come off, clockwise or anti clockwise? Thank you
Clockwise
Its first engine???
thank you, where did you get the special tool?
Ebay
Great vids, lads. Got the link for the fan tools?

Torque specs on tensioner please?
8pk-2092 is really hard to put in.
How did you release the tension in the tensioner please
From memory there is a square hole in the tensioner you can put a socket bar into
@@L663 thanks one more question when the tensioner is fitted and the belt is on how do you Put the tension back on is it automatic or do you have to release anything out the tensioner thanks great videos always watch 👍
@@danhayes3546 its just sring loaded so the tension is always applied - so just release the tension with a tool to fit... then the tension is always applied
@@L663 thanks did belt and tensioner this morning all good thanks again 👍
Is that normal that the pulley wobbles so much ?
Did you figure this one as mines wobbling so I was wondering if it was a problem?
wouldnt taking the grill off help also
Not really - the rad pack is in the way.... but its easy to do and would stop you scratching the grill...
