One of the most critical operations is checking and replacing the drive belt, which is responsible for the operation of the generator, power steering and air conditioning. If the belt is loose, it will cause slippage, overheating of the battery and loss of steering power at the worst possible time.
Owners of this model are often faced with the fact that the tension mechanism eventually loses its properties or jams. The stretching process on engines of 1.5 liters (K4M) and 1.6 liters (QG15/QG16) has its own specific features that distinguish it from similar procedures on other foreign cars. Incorrect tension can cause premature wear of bearings of attachments or a break in the belt, which entails expensive repairs.
In this article we will analyze in detail how to perform this procedure yourself, what tools you will need and what nuances you should pay special attention to in order to avoid mistakes. You will learn how to determine the wear of a product, how to set the tension correctly, and what signs indicate the need for urgent replacement.
Diagnosis of condition and symptoms of malfunction
Before you begin manipulating the tension mechanism, you need to be sure of the causes of the problems. A characteristic whistle when starting the engine or when sharply pressing the gas pedal is the first signal that belt tension Π½Π΅Π΄ΠΎΡΡΠ°ΡΠΎΡΠ½ΠΎΠ΅. The sound is caused by the rubber band slipping over the pulleys, especially in wet or oily conditions.
In addition to acoustic signals, you should visually inspect the product itself. If microcracks, delaminations or traces of oil are visible on the surface of the belt, its operation is unacceptable. Even with ideal tension, a worn belt can break at any time. Also pay attention to the condition tension roller β if it makes a squeak or play when rotating, replacement is necessary in conjunction with the belt.
Sometimes the problem lies not in the belt itself, but in its geometry.

Be sure to make sure the engine is completely cool before starting work. Hot metal can cause burns, and the tension on a warm motor can be distorted due to thermal expansion of parts. Open the hood and disconnect the battery terminal for safety, although the risk of a short circuit during mechanical operation is minimal.

Once the belt is loosened, it can be removed from all pulleys, starting with the top one (alternator) and ending with the crankshaft. Before installing a new product, check all pulleys for burrs and rust. A smooth pulley surface is critical to belt longevity. Make sure the new belt has the same markings as the old one, otherwise it may not be the right length.
Installation is carried out in reverse order. First, put the belt on all pulleys except the tension roller itself or the generator pulley (depending on the wiring diagram). Then, using a wrench, the tensioner is compressed and the belt is placed on the last pulley. After releasing the tensioner, the spring itself will create the necessary force, and the belt will fall into place.

A correctly tensioned belt should not sag more than 10-15 mm when pressed with a finger in the middle of the longest branch. If the deflection is less, the belt will be overtightened, which will cause rapid wear of the generator bearings. If it is more, it will slip. By car Nissan Almera N16 An automatic tensioner is often used, which itself maintains the optimal force, but its performance needs to be checked.
Start the engine and listen carefully to the operation of the attachment. The whistling should disappear completely. Turn on the lights, heater and air conditioning, placing maximum electrical and mechanical load on the generator. If the whistle returns when the load is turned on, it means that the tension is still insufficient or the belt is defective.

Please note that length may vary slightly depending on the manufacturer and year of the vehicle. Always check the actual size of the old belt with the parameters of the new one before installation. Using a belt of the wrong length will either cause it to overtighten and wear out quickly, or cause it to sag and slip.
Before purchasing a new belt, measure the old one with a caliper or tape measure. Even if the markings are stamped on the belt, they may wear off over time, making a visual comparison of lengths more reliable.
