HI all,
There was a thread on this subject a while ago, I did a search but could'nt anything. I want to replace the serpentine belt on my au1 forte. Relieving the tension to remove the old one is no problem but I just cannot get the new one to go on. My new belt is a BOCHE and I am starting to wonder if I have the wrong one. Is there some technique to getting it to go on? Any help appreciated! Thanks guys |

There should be a diagram under the bonnet to show you how it runs.

Thanks Monty! My problem is, even with the tensioner wide open, I cant get it to slip over the power steering " wheel ". Its like its too short but I dont think so.
