Title: G60 Belts
Post by: 993turbo on 18 February 2009, 14:57

Hi there...

Im about to change the belts on my G60. The car is standard, with A/C - Power steering....

Im planning to change all of the belts, including timing belt.

-How many belts are there?

-Any tensioner bearings / tensioners to change?

-Any recommended ''upgraded'' parts?? Wider belts or.......

Any input appreciated......

I see some using a 11,5mm charger belt? What is the story with this......?

You will need the cam belt and tensioner, the serpentine belt that drives the compressor and the alternator, the powered steering belt and the aircon belt, although with aircon models, I dont know whether this shares a belt with something else.
The very small charger belt inside the charger is also a good idea.
I have replaced all mine, although I dont have air conditioning. Make a note of the routing for the serpentine belt. Also check your serpentine belt tensioner for fluid. It is like a little shock absorber and the fluid usually disapears after a few years.

Cheers....

Aircon and Powersteering is shared as far as I can see....

I suppose I will just pop by Aurgi or Norauto to pick up some belts....

I tried to buy a cam belt and tensioner, and they would not sell it to me unless they fitted it. So I walked away and put my business somewhere else. To be honest, Norauto are not that good. Expensive and no knowledge. They could not even charge my aircon properly because they did not have the correct adaptor. But that's just Spain all along. One of the many reasons why I am so desperate to get out of this stupid backward country.
