thanks. I'm the first owner, 170k KM on original belt :) Mostly found videos with Gasoline engine or oder 1G of cee'd and was surprised to see no manual tension bolts on my car :D Good that we have auto-pulley-tensioner. Did the replacement tonight, since the mechanic said it's already started to crack... The upper roller without grooves which is the auto-tensioner, made out of metal, probably needs to be changed, because it has like 1-2mm of play in it, but... maybe that's ok? probably when it will die i'll hear the squeaks. I used to have the squeking noises only after i killed the engine for 1-2 seconds (squeak... squeak... silent), but after replacing the belt it's silent again, yay! it was a bit tiredsome to pull from the bottom of the car the tensioning bolt with one hand ALL THE WAY and drag the belt to the grooves. What helped is to use the smallest one on the top as a last one, that worked. Trying to put the belt on the lowest largest two on the bottom didn't help. p.s. fun fact, i didn't have the plastic cover in my cee'd, hehe. Oh well, one less thing to care about, but it was a pleasant (?) surprise.
Good job :) You did right, if the belt is worn, the squeaks may be from it. Pulleys may have some play, but as long as they rotate freely and rotate straight so no need to change them. But it is always good to be sure if the play is normal or if it is a sign of a worn pulley :)
The black idler pulley with the torx screw, is it left hand thread or right hand, meaning righty tightly lefty loosie? I want to replace mine and I'm not sure which way to unscrew it.
I unfortunately did not change such a pulley on a same car as this one. I advise you to check a repair manual for the same car. It may also come a new bolt with the new pulley and then you can see how the threads look like. If you want to do it anyway you can carefully turn it to the opposite side of how the pulley turns normally when the engine is one, if you feel that it is turning easy then you are good to go, if not, you can carefully also turn it to the other side and see, but if you feel hard resistance by turning it to both sides then do not continue. Good luck 🙂
I heard that the belt tensioner can go bad and will cause a rattling sound. Are you familiar with this problem? I will replace belt and tensioner shortly
If the rattle sound is continuous it may be the drive belt's tensioner (You can see it jumping or vibrating when the engine is on), but if the rattle sound disappears in few seconds after startup it means that the timing chain's tensioner is bad.
We change the belt today and it was very simple one tow three , saved me £50 for this job 🙏
Thanks for video. My belt snapped at 165k miles and this was v useful .👍
You are welcome 🙂
