Recommendations for operating and replacing the accessory drive belt

Greetings, dear site visitors, If you are on this page, it means that you are interested in information on how to replace the VAZ 2110 alternator belt.

Be 100% sure that you have come exactly where you need to go. Here is a detailed illustrated guide to belt replacement. This article is not limited only to the VAZ 2110 model, but completely covers the entire tenth family, taking into account Priora and Kalina.

I will list the main points that will be discussed in this guide.

  • Why does the alternator belt whistle?
  • What sizes of alternator belts are used for VAZ 2110-2115.
  • Replacing the VAZ 2110 alternator belt.
  • How to tighten the VAZ 2110 alternator belt.

Using this guide, you can do all the work yourself without much effort. Believe me, there is nothing complicated.

The VAZ 2110 alternator belt whistles, why?

Why does the belt whistle? There are several reasons: weak tension, moisture got into the V-belt connection (very rarely), drying out (destruction), and the generator wedge was leaking.

All of the above points can cause the belt to whistle.

Let's take a closer look at each of the reasons.

If the belt tension is weak, slipping occurs in the V-belt joint, this is especially noticeable when operating the car at night, when the lights are on. The generator produces more power, which means the load on the V-belt connection (belt, pulley) increases. Slipping is what causes the whistling sound.

Cars with installed power steering or air conditioning are very susceptible to this phenomenon. This is described in detail below in the section on belt tension.

The ingress of moisture often does not lead to a whistle, but rather to belt slipping. When slipping, the heat evaporates moisture and may whistle a little. This indicates that the belt needs to be tightened.

If the belt dries out, it means that destruction is underway. Cracks, scuffs appear on the belt, and pieces may even fall off; all these signs indicate that the belt needs to be changed urgently.

Disassembly

This section describes a step-by-step process to help you disassemble the generator

"Gazelle".

So, first you need to remove the plastic protective cover from the case. Then unscrew the brush block and the voltage regulator, having first disconnected the wiring from it. The belt tension is weak, the generator belt is a gazelle. Generator replacement. Next, you should unscrew the four tie rods of the generator housing and remove the housing cover together with the stator. Then, having disconnected the winding terminals from the diode bridge, you need to remove the stator, and, if necessary, the diode bridge itself.

You can carry out the process of diagnosing generator parts using measuring instruments: E236 or a special test light.

Alternator belt dimensions VAZ 2110-215, Kalina, Priora

There are a lot of sizes of alternator belts, it seems that they made a separate belt for a specific model, but there are several sizes that are most often used and are suitable for all models of the tenth family.

Let's start, perhaps, with the general model of a wide multi-ribbed belt, which was installed on standard VAZ models and the first generators:

• VAZ 2108 – VAZ 2115 size – 698 mm.

Models without power steering and air conditioning:

• VAZ 2110 – VAZ 2112 size – 742 mm.

Next is the Kalina VAZ 1118 option:

• Without power steering and air conditioning Size – 882 mm.

• With air conditioning, size – 1005 mm.

VAZ 2110 – VAZ 2112, as well as VAZ 1118 (Kalina), VAZ 2170 (Priora) with power steering:

VAZ 2110 with air conditioning:

These are the most basic sizes that will definitely fit a particular brand.

Replacing the VAZ 2110 alternator belt

What we need for the replacement: a good set of tools, a jack (to raise the engine) and a new belt.

Before starting work, it is advisable to treat all threaded connections on the tensioner with WD-40 liquid to loosen everything, otherwise there is a possibility of breaking the bolts.

Loosen the generator belt. The complete process of removing the tensioner is described in the article “Replacing a VAZ 2110 generator”, I recommend that you read it. After you loosen the belt, it can be easily removed from the generator pulley, but to remove it completely, you need to remove the right boot on the car body.

By removing the protective boot, you can easily pull out the worn alternator belt.

Having purchased the required size belt in advance, we install it back. If you are standing near the right fender of the car, then the letters and numbers on the belt should be read from your side, and not upside down.

All that remains is to tighten the belt and put everything back together, but this will be a little lower, and now we will carry out the replacement on VAZ cars with power steering or air conditioning.

As it turned out, everything is not so simple here. When installing power steering or air conditioning on the engine, the generator was moved slightly upward and in order to replace the belt, it must be threaded through an additional engine support.

Why they did this is not clear, but there was more work.

Here the replacement process is almost the same, but you need to tinker around with the additional engine mount.

We need to unscrew and pull out the central bolt of the support, then lift the engine a little and thread a belt into the gap between the pillow and the engine support. This method is suitable for models with installed air conditioning, but if power steering is installed, the bolt will not come out completely and will rest against the pulley.

To remove the bolt, you need to remove the pulley or completely unscrew the additional support pad. By jacking up the engine a little and turning the mount, you can thread a new belt.

I don’t know which is easier, removing the pulley or unscrewing the support, both methods are very inconvenient, so the choice is yours.

Let's go back a little to the first option if an air conditioner is installed.

You can tinker and completely unscrew the support pad, or you can completely unscrew only the central bolt.

We install a mechanical support under the car body.

Now we need to place a jack under the engine and lift it a little. The photo below shows where to install the jack, and do not forget to place a wooden block - this will prevent deformation of the oil pan.

The engine should not be lifted too much, because it is possible to break off the exhaust manifold, which is rigidly fixed, or other mechanisms. You don't have to lift much to just get the belt through.

When you thread the belt, be careful, there is a locking washer installed on top of the pad, do not lose it.

After stretching the belt, install the bolt back and lower the engine. Reinstall the side boot and wheel. Now it's a stretch.

Tools and materials for the prevention of the generator drive mechanism

The variety of types of installation on different types of engines of a huge number of different types of generators does not allow us to unambiguously name a single tool for this operation. As a rule, it is different for each model. Although there are some common features.

Tools

Typically, to prevent a drive with aggregate adjustment, wrenches are needed to loosen the assembly bolts and a wrench to rotate the adjustment bolt. Plus a small pry bar to hold the unit in the desired position. For roller drives, a wrench for loosening the roller nut and a special wrench for turning the roller itself. For an automatic drive, only a prybar or a wrench to press out the roller when replacing the belt and wrenches to replace the roller itself.

Belts and rollers

For each engine there is both its own alternator belt tension roller and the belt itself. All of them have special markings and their own signs.

Important! Installing parts that do not correspond to the intended purpose of this particular motor model can lead to major breakdowns with capital costs.

Therefore, the most reliable way to purchase spare parts is to identify the required parts by VIN code. This is a modern way of obtaining spare parts and parts for the machine. Any vehicle has its own identification number located on a special body plate

Normal auto parts stores no longer require you to bring a broken part for identification (only in very rare cases). It is enough to dictate this code to the seller, and with the help of a special program, by contacting the global identifier database, the seller will confidently tell you the type and dimensions of the required part. If necessary, he will order delivery to the store within an acceptable time frame. This method is best used to purchase the attachment drives and tension rollers needed by the machine.

Replacing an alternator belt with an automatic tension roller is clearly shown in the video using the example of a Peugeot 306:

  • How to choose, install and repair gas equipment for cars
  • Do-it-yourself soundproofing of the car interior

How to tighten the alternator belt on a VAZ 2110?

Adjustment is very simple. Using a 10mm wrench, tighten the bolt on the tensioner until, when you press your fingers on the belt between the pulleys, the deflection is approximately 6 - 10 mm. The pressing force is not great. If you have a special measuring ruler, then with a force of 10 kgf the deflection should be within the range of 10 - 15 mm.

On VAZ cars with power steering or air conditioning installed, the tension should be a little larger. When pressing with your fingers, the belt should bend by 5 mm. All this is done so that the belt does not slip, because the contact area between the belt and pulley is not large.

But you need to remember that you can’t overtighten either, because the generator bearings will quickly fail. Here's a design with a surprise.

That's probably all. We replaced the VAZ 2110 alternator belt.
