Adjusting the power steering belt

Recommended Posts

Hi folks, reading instructions about how to adjust the power steering belt and have no problem finding the adjuster bolt but apparently it is VERY IMPORTANT (according to the notes) to loosen the lock-nut first on the bracket before trying to adjust it.....unfortunately, the diagram does not show where the locknut is (I suppose it thinks you are a numpty if you cannot see it!). Any instructions out there?

 

A second set of instructions seems to suggest having to loosen the pump itself before adjusting the adjuster bolt, which makes me uneasy, as again, no idea which of the bolts on the diagram the isntructions are referring to (they are just labelled bolts 7-18).....again, any help would be appreciated!!

 

Cheers :-)

Thanks mate,

It is the 2L/16V - had a read of some of the other posts about it and there seems to be a dizzying array of conflicting instructions....the number/location of bolts you have to loosen seems to vary between the posts (understandably if there are variations in the design!), i like the idea of just two!!!
