steveo29 0 Posted February 19, 2015 any charger experts able to share any thoughts? firstly ive had my g60 years and swapped a few of these small timing belts and kinda thought i knew what i was doing anyway i treated the g60 to new cam belt , serp belt , pas and the small g60 timing belt started the car and theres a nasty clanking sound from the charger area - i whipped off the serp belt and the engine sounds fine without the other bits spinning i fitted the small belt as before , both pulley notches in the straight up position lined up with the casting line on the charger body , span it round by hand and rechecked it a couple of times , pulley was undone by hand with a ratchet and slipped off by hand , no hammering or rough treatment does that correct what ive done ? is the timing that easy to mess up and would i have ruined the charger ? any ideas ? hoping its something stupid but im pretty sure it can only be the charger Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Riley 0 Posted February 20, 2015 Have you fitted a wider charger timing belt? Is the belt catching anything? Is the serp belt catching anything? If you spin the charger relay rollers (x2 of them) do they sound OK? As far as the charger timing...As long as the top and bottom ends are both vertically aligned to each other (Looking face on) it should be OK. Note that you don't use any pulley marks to align, but the two sprockets, but I'm sure you know that. Neil. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steveo29 0 Posted February 20, 2015 yeah its all how it should be which is whats puzzling me , it is the slightly wider belt that everyone uses , same as what came off drove the car in the garage all working fine , swapped all the belts now it sounds ill , i will take the charger off and try to check it all over before running it anymore cheers for the reply Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sankysvr6 0 Posted February 24, 2015 Do you mean the spring tensioner is rattling away? Have you got a smaller pulley and is the serpentine belt the correct one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sankysvr6 0 Posted February 24, 2015 If your bushes are worn on your tensioner, I can supply you with some derlin ones. Or I'm sure Jabbasport were selling them at one time. I can supply you with some like these, its what I have fitted on mine. As you can see the old ones pretty worn Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
