pg. 103 Drive belts
Checking the belt tension
The belt tension can be checked by depressing the fan belt (engine not running!) at a point midway between the alternator and fan. It should
be possible to press down the belt About 1/4"- 3/8"( 5-10 mm). This also applies to other Drive belts on the engine.
Belt check
Check the belts regularly to make sure they are in good condition and are clean. Worn or dirty belts can cause poor cooling and low
alternator output as well as impair the operation of the power steering and the air conditioning unit.
Belt adjustment and replacement
The belts can be difficult to reach and it is advisable to let your Volvo dealer adjust the tension of the belts or replace them if necessary.
