This is about a new gates serpentine belt. New serpentine belts are way tighter than old because the new one has plenty of material and has not yet been stretched. This makes the installation process for the newer/tighter belt difficult to impossible, even with the tensioner cranked to maximum loosness. Can you please share some pro-tricks to get the belt on when faced with this difficulty. Thanks for a response.
Belt and tensioner have the same service life? So every 60k or so miles?What a load of shit, manufacturers just want to sell more parts so they make them wear prematurely
I've never had a squeaking sound but I have had recent moments where my power goes out while driving. Had Alternator checked they said it was fine. This has also resulted in car not being able to start due to battery probably not being charged effectually. I even put a kill switch on the battery and it still dies. I honestly cant remember when I replaced a belt but I know it needs it. So hopefully by replacing a very fast moving tensioner pulley and replacing the worn belt I can keep my car running.
Last Gen Gamers that sounds like either you’re cam or crank shaft sensors I’d check them out that can also cause internal damages to you’re vehicle like timing can jump that’s not good either
I can put a new serpentine belt on my 1996 chevy 3500 6.5L diesel and within 2 to 3 weeks the tensioner will be pulled all the way out and the belt will be some what loose. What should I do to fix this problem? 1/1/2019
I recently bought an opel rekord 3800 V6 .I have a problem irs otomatic when I put in drive and try to full off it cyrs out and there is a hamimg noise created thruogh out the system and I open the bonet at the amount jacking I get on the belt tensioner is hug. .e . Its almost like it locks then the car is fine and unlocks and the whole motor jaking . What can I do . Belt is old cracked but intact could this be the problem
So is a little bit of vibration on one pulley normal? All of the pulleys are stationary except one. It vibrates slightly. Fyi the vibrating pulley is brand new.
is it a cheap no-name aftermarket (OEM rejected part)? Bearings used to be good but even Benz makes new cars with wobbly idler pulleys to cut down on service life and help them profit on high maintenance cost. Japanese tensioner good for 150Kmi vs. Benz only good for 70kmi... half as good but twice as expensive 😅
I just had my water pump and timing chain replaced and now my belts are shredding. Do you think its likely the tensioner is out of whack or do you think it could be a bent water pump or harmonic balancer issue?
i had a rattling noise coming out of my engine when my car was stationary. I replaced cambelt, water pump and tensioner. The noise is gone and my engine sounds bit more smooth. got charged £425 for it. hope it is worth it.
@@atteblo3303 Replaced mine DIY from rock auto for $160 Canadian - idler, belt, tensioner, some red thread locker, shipping, tax, and a sunday afternoon. slipping gone, and my tachometer seems to be more stable. OP who got charged "£425 for it" is the reason i started DIY.
because that belt is fed power from the crankshaft and operates pumps responsible for a few things - your power steering pump - makes steering "easy", and your coolant pump - keeps the engine cool and you hot, and your A/C compressor - keeps you cool, and your alternator - provides electricity to your electronics and battery. the serpentine belt is simple but vital.
Absolutely the best educational video I have seen, everything makes perfect COMMON sense.
Most accurate video explaining accessory belt system failures ever!!
Thank you for your video. I wondered, but wasn't for sure.
This is so informative! Thank you!!
It's about time! Excellent 👌 the best explanation. you deserve your own channel, thank you hope I've not ruined the alternator

Excellent production.
I give this video a 10/10 rating.
Wicked really great example and teaches me to understand more of some of the faults. Keep up the good work and thank you ✌🏻😉
Best explanation on youtube thx :)
Wow great video on this stuff ..
Excellent video.
Nice, just replaced my wife's tensioner and the annoying squeak she was getting when the ac was on went away, just saved a couple hundred bucks
Can save %15 when switching to Geico you stupid bitch

Sir I have different problems like sound from engine when started , nobody identify the problem , can u plz tell me I have video also
do you think it is a good idea to lubricate or grease the belt tensioner spring ( housing)? for longer life?
canada painter no

tubeyourself A bearing is out of whack
Does anyone know if the belt tensioner is out of alignment it could make my crankshaft pulley wobble a bit?
Dang I replaced the battery, Alternator, belt and not the pully

hello. iv replaced my belt 2 times this year. it keeps shredding and makes noice
You're doing something very wrong.
You are "Personator"?
2008 hyundai v belt replace 1

Why would the drive belt break on a new vehicle.. 2017 model?
Why did my steering wheel get hard when belt falls off and my car started to heat up
Cause you lost power steering, and your water pump is no longer pushing coolant through your car.
JuanCarlos Alvarez the belt drives both the power steering pump and the water pump.
JuanCarlos Alvarez because it saw a pretty girl steering wheel?

Cuz your on acid
mine is squeaking in the morning when engine is cold, then disappears around 20seconds...brandnew belts installed. what could be the problem?
try replacing the belt tensioner as mentioned here
Erwin Soriano ok. will do, thank you
JM Luab use Irish spring soap put it all over your belt
My car is making a littler rattling sound while I'm on brakes what you think this is
