Access for 1.6JX water pump belt change
Posted: 10 Apr 2013, 21:19
Hi, I cant find a mention in the archives but could be mistaken however, I'm planning to change both of the auxiliary belts on my 1.6JX TD and am budgeting for time and preparation. I understand the lower belt is tensioned via shims on the water pump pulley and that the bolts can be hard to free. From what I can see and get a feel for it looks like I'll have to take the exhaust off to get good access to the pulley bolts. Is this correct or am I mistaken? I'm trying to avoid getting half way, then having to reassemble as I've run out of time.
Any help is much appreciated, Pete
