4. Check the belt tension. A correctly tensioned belt should turn 90° with a finger force of 15–20 N (1.5–2 kgf). If the belt is loose (stretched over time), it must be replaced (see "Replacement of auxiliary drive belt").

Note: If the belt is not tensioned, it will slip and make a characteristic noise (whistle) while the engine is running.


5. Check the condition of the belt by visual inspection. If the belt shows signs of severe wear or is oily, it must be replaced (see "Replacement of auxiliary drive belt").

6. Install the parts in the reverse order of removal.
