DRIVE BELTS
➀ Alternator pulley
➁ Water pump pulley
➂ Crank shaft pulley
➃ P/S pump pulley
➄ A/C compressor pulley
Drive belts should be checked peri-
odically for proper tension and
adjusted if necessary. At the same
time, belts should be examined for
cracks, wear, fraying or other evi-
dence of deterioration and replaced
if necessary.
Belt routing should also be checked
to be sure there is no interference
between the belts and other parts of
the engine. After a belt is replaced,
the new belt should be adjusted
again after two or three weeks to
eliminate slack resulting from initial
stretching after use.
Checking the compressor
drive belt
When the air conditioning is being
used regularly, the compressor drive
belt tension should be checked at
least once a month.
To check the drive belt tension, turn
the engine off, press down on the
belt halfway between the engine
crankshaft and compressor pulleys.
Pressing with your finger, you should
not be able to deflect this belt any-
more than 8.5 mm (0.33 in). If you
have the instruments to check it, with
a force of 98 N (22 lb.), the deflection
should be 8.0 mm (0.315 in). If the
belt is too loose, have it adjusted by
an authorized Kia Dealer.
