Determining the tension of the alternator belt on a VAZ 2106. Replacing the alternator belt and its tension. We change it with our own hands

For the generator to operate efficiently, it is important that the belt is sufficiently tensioned. The size of the VAZ 2106 alternator belt must correspond to the recommendations specified in the operating manual. In addition to following the recommended size, you should regularly check the tension. The article provides detailed instructions on how to correctly change and tension the VAZ 2106 alternator belt.

What size should the alternator belt be?

The belt serves as the link between the crankshaft and the generator shaft, which provides electricity for the vehicle. If it breaks, the car will stop. The product is a rubber ring, the condition of which should be constantly monitored and changed as necessary.

Belts are evaluated according to the following parameters:

There are three types:

The original for the VAZ 2106 has a size of 10x944 with a wedge angle of 39 degrees. It is easy to install and adjust. You should buy original products. Poor quality ones may not meet the required dimensions and may stretch during operation, which will affect the power of the power unit. These products are consumables that are recommended to be changed every 15 thousand or when defects are detected.

Adjusting the engine generator belt UZAM-331, 3317

For these power units, when pressing with a force of 4 kgf on the area between the generator and pump pulleys, the belt deflection should not be more than 7-9 mm. Otherwise, the alternator belt needs to be adjusted.

.

To tighten the belt, you also need to slightly unscrew the bolt securing the generator to the adjustment bar, which is located on top of the generator. Next, you need to loosen the nut securing the adjusting bar and pump to the cylinder block. After this, the nuts securing the generator to the brackets of the UZAM-331 or 3317 block are loosened. They are located under the generator. Next, you can move the generator in the opposite direction from the block. In the desired position, tighten the bolt securing the generator to the adjusting bar. Do not over-tighten the belt. This increases the load on the pump and generator bearings. Next, you should check the belt tension again. If it is normal, then all the nuts described above are tightened. The adjustment of the generator belt of the UZAM-331, 3317 motor is normal.

For the generator to operate efficiently, it is important that the belt is sufficiently tensioned. The size of the VAZ 2106 alternator belt must correspond to the recommendations specified in the operating manual. In addition to following the recommended size, you should regularly check the tension. The article provides detailed instructions on how to correctly change and tension the VAZ 2106 alternator belt.

We change it with our own hands

It is more convenient to perform the replacement on an overpass or inspection ditch. In extreme cases, you can use a jack. Before work, you should prepare a set of tools and new consumables.

The drive belt is located in the front of the engine compartment and is tensioned over the alternator, crankshaft and cooling system pump pulleys. The strength of its tension can be checked by deflection in two places:

  • between the crankshaft pulley and the pump, the deflection should be within 1.2 - 1.7 cm;
  • between the pump and generator pulley – 1 -1.5 cm.

If there is a discrepancy, adjustment must be made.

Stages of work

The tensioning procedure is one of the replacement stages, which consists of the following steps:

  1. First you need to unscrew the upper mounting bolt of the generator, which acts as a tensioner. There is no need to unscrew it completely; a couple of turns are enough to loosen the strap.
  2. Then you need to move under the car and loosen the lower nut securing the unit.
  3. Next, holding the upper fastening nut, you need to move the device towards the cylinders until the minimum tension is achieved.


Loosen the tension nut

  • Now the strap can be easily removed from the pulleys. It is better to remove it from the water pump pulley first, and then from the rest.
  • The new consumable must be pulled sequentially onto all pulleys of the units.
  • Tension should be made by moving the tension nut. Turning clockwise increases the tension, turning it counterclockwise decreases it.
  • After adjustment, tighten the unit fastening nut.
  • Thus, replacing consumables on a VAZ 2106 is not difficult and can be done with your own hands. These skills will make it possible to avoid surprises on the road, you just need to have a consumable in the trunk.

How to tighten or loosen the alternator belt on a VAZ 2106

Tensioning is quite simple. It is necessary to follow some steps that were described above, namely: loosen the upper and lower nuts securing the generator. Then we make adjustments: either tighten or loosen the belt. Again, this is all done using the tensioner top plate. If you need to tighten it more, then you need to move the generator itself to the left, and if, on the contrary, you loosen it, then accordingly - to the right.

After completing this procedure, tighten both nuts to the required torque and check how correctly everything was done.
We start the engine and turn on all electrical appliances: If, when turning on powerful consumers of electricity, the belt begins to whistle, this indicates that it needs to be tightened a little more. If, on the contrary, you hear the hum of the generator bearing, then most likely the belt is too tight and needs to be loosened.

Selecting a pump and alternator belt | Topic author: Rasikha

People, tell me which company is better to buy?

Lyokha (Henrika) I’ll tell you one thing about the pump: don’t use it with a plastic impeller.

Dmitry (Pahoran) Bosch belt

Alexey (Steropes) About pumps here https://www.semerka.info/forum/viewtopic.php? f=5&t..

Alexey (Steropes) took it because I got a counterfeit one, it didn’t last even five thousand, the bearing became loose, I installed the same one, but bought in another store - so far everything is fine. But in general, most likely, if it’s a real part, it will serve its purpose. Before you buy, you need to look at what’s in the store, and on the manufacturer’s website, learn to distinguish a counterfeit from a real part. Regarding the belt: Is there a difference? in my opinion, the best belt, there are 2 belts - 1 under the hood and one in the trunk, I have the most expensive rubles for 30-40 thousand 20 have already left

Alexey (Steropes) What about the pump from Shnivy? :))

Alexey (Steropes) Well, yesterday I seemed to have made up my mind.

Sergey (Boniface) I found 2 pumps in my grandfather’s garage, made back in the USSR, wrapped in oiled paper, but for some reason without impellers, replaced with the old one, then it’s already running for 80 thousand

Roman (Gillis) is lucky! in the USSR they knew how to make spare parts.

Nikolay (Haurahi) Pump TZA 2 years so far ok. Before that, the Luzar lasted for half a month, took it to the store, changed it again for a Luzar for about a month and a half and it also squeaked. The belt is an ordinary one, in my opinion, 70 rubles. More than 70 thousand have passed until it falls apart, but there is still a spare in the trunk,

Alexey (Steropes) Nikolay, did you call the TZA by number on their website? Does this really work? And the day before yesterday I bought HEPU for 740 rubles. I’ll wait with the replacement until it’s warmer and when the snow melts - I’m already tired of cleaning the entrance to the garage.

Nikolay (Haurahi) Alexey, I didn’t call the number on the website because I didn’t use the Internet at that time. But it’s still good that this pump has been spinning for the second year without play or whistling. Well, the current quality of the equipment leaves much to be desired, and even that “ninja”, in my opinion, doesn’t give a damn what is stamped, that’s why you come across plastic pistons and bearings similar to an aluminum alloy; they are molded from what is available.

Roman (Gillis) Alexey, Congratulations on your purchase. Good stuff. I installed the same one for myself two years ago. Now I’m driving happily)))

Dmitry (Pahoran) Alexey, please let me know how the pump is? how far did you travel?

Alexey (Steropes) Well, September is already upon us. The flight is normal. I didn’t note how many in km - it was a little later that I came up with the idea of ​​keeping a logbook.)) But I repeat - I didn’t see any negative reviews on the net. Only positive ones. That’s why I chose Hepu.

Dmitry (Pahoran) today a friend installed a TZA pump, it started leaking after 5 minutes))

Alexey (Steropes) you still need to tighten the strap without fanaticism, any one can be knocked down in a week if you tighten the strap

Alexey (Steropes) The topic was raised in connection with the question about the quality of pumps produced by Luzar.

Dmitry (Pahoran) A friend works in the store, he says Luzar hasn’t been brought back yet. Another friend installed TZA, it started flowing immediately, installed Luzar, and has been driving it for a couple of months now.

Alexey (Steropes) There are contradictory reviews on the internet about Luzar products, you can read them. True, I have only seen about radiators so far. For now I only use the Luzarovsky stove fan, on bearings. Three years - normal flight.

Optimal alternator belt length

A car engine alternator is unable to perform its intended tasks properly if the wrong length belt is installed on it. If it is too long initially, or its length increases during operation, this can lead to a number of very unpleasant consequences. Naturally, no one wants to deal with engine repairs; for this reason, it is very important to immediately install a belt of the correct length or adjust its tension in a timely manner. You can find out exactly what size alternator belt you need from your car's operating instructions. We will tell you how to tighten it in case of sagging in the article below.

Correct alternator belt length

The role of the alternator belt in the functioning of the car as a whole is quite high. Thanks to it, torque is transmitted from the crankshaft to the generator shaft, resulting in the generation of electrical energy to power the most important components of the car. In this regard, the generator belt must always be in good condition and have dimensions that fully comply with the requirements of the device itself. In particular, at the moment when the alternator belt breaks, the car simply stalls and can no longer continue to move.

Adjusting belt tension VAZ-2106

The degree of tension of the belt should be such that when pressed with a force of 10.2 kgf between the pump and generator pulleys, it bends no more than 1-1.5 cm. Of course, experienced motorists can determine the degree of tension of the VAZ-2106 belt and by eye, without a device to measure the force.

To tension the belt on a VAZ-2106

it is necessary to loosen the nut securing the generator to the adjustment bar.
It is located at the top of the generator. You will also need to loosen the nut of the generator hinge pin. It is located at the bottom of the back part. Next, the generator is moved in the opposite direction from the motor, after which the above-described nuts are tightened. The VAZ-2106 belt
is tight.

when I was changing the oil I saw that 2 wires were simply not inserted, so I inserted them.

I couldn’t help but confuse what a tablet and a brush are?

lekha207 04/24/2008, 17:29

It is unlikely that this is a diode bridge. The other day, on a four-wheeler, I was repairing a ganerato with a broken diode bridge - there the symptoms were slightly different - the red lamp was on and the voltage arrow in the on-board network was darting left and right.

The brushes here are most likely bad.

advice: check the voltage on the generator by first disconnecting it from the on-board network.

p.s. find a good friend - repairing a generator is an inexpensive pleasure. Even if the bridge is broken and the brushes are worn out, it will cost 500 rubles along with labor and spare parts (not at the station, of course).
