#3: Re: fan belt wont fit Author: dumdum0910, Location: letchworthPosted: Sun May 29, 2011 3:49 am ---- what hole do you mean? i cant see any hole?
#4: Re: fan belt wont fit Author: dumdum0910, Location: letchworthPosted: Sun May 29, 2011 4:24 am ----
were would this hole be? the top tensioner is the 1 you put a 13mm spanner on to move the tensioner in and out

there's a good guide, the bottom picture shows the hole if it has an automatic tensioner.

#8: Re: fan belt wont fit Author: richpowell91, Location: Melton Mowbray LeicestershirePosted: Sun May 29, 2011 5:40 am ---- Ah okay sorry ignore all that then, have you tried putting the old on back on again to make sure there isnt a problem with the tensioner?

That is impossible,it's a must,and do as the guys said above,other wise the belt would be lose,and slip out while you drive,it have to be tight to work well.
#11: Re: fan belt wont fit Author: dumdum0910, Location: letchworthPosted: Sun May 29, 2011 5:44 am ---- the top tensioner is spring loaded . the alternator is bolted straight on to the block

Firstly do you need two threads for the same problem?
Secondly, if they used your chassis number then there will only be one belt to fit your car.
And I've just emailed you a guide to your msn address
