How to Replace Tensioner Drive Belt 1.6 hdi, 1.6 tdci - Citroen / Peugeot

[@enforcementofficer4802]

Quality - no messing around with long intros - just gets down to business !!! :)

[@luttsylutts6331]

Wow! Such a detailed video, with excellent camera skills. I now have every confidence to do this job myself & save garage bills! Thank you!

[@przemekbundy]

Thanks to your video, for the first time I dared to fix something on my Peugeot 206 1.6 hdi. I estimate the difficulty of replacing the tensioner as: 1 on a scale of up to 10. Regards from Poland.

[@davewalmash6849]

Thanks for uploading! Just a note to anyone reading, my Peugeot partner '14 had 10mm bolts, and with belt snapped, socket extension wouldn't fit on tensioner. Spanners got bolts out.

[@leonperry123]

Be a man and get a full set of sockets 😂

[@razzo8525]

thanks Adrian you make motoring so much cheaper and not so much a challenge will hit your vids first every time i need a fix,have a good crimbo m8 Razzo

[@nigelmitchell351]

Thanks AD for the guidance, although the pulley bearings were fine in my tensioner, at tick over, the adjuster was bouncing almost 10mm back and forth in a blur. This gave rise to a severe noise in the area which reduced as the revs were increased. A new tensioner seams to have cured this noise but a small but silent movement can still be seen at the tensioner pulley.

[@rossk4167]

Nice video, short and to the point. Thanks!

[@Jhampa108]

Excellent video !! This is what KZbin was made for ... Outstanding

[@paulsimpson7329]

Brilliant video, took some finding for my 2010 focus 1.6 tdci but worth the search. Great advice about removing the back bolt first otherwise I would have been stuck. Great Job. Thanks.

[@GSF404]

It's a killer if the back bolt isn't undone first. I found that out on TDCI C-Max 2 when I did it a few months ago.

[@stuartswanuk]

Wish all videos would be as good as this one ☝️

[@jamiealexander3142]

Got caught out with the back bolt when changing the alternator out 🙈, results in a 2 man job getting the belt back on afterwards because the tensioner plate hides under the engine mount l, had to use a pry bar to ease it over the crank to apply bit of tension so it could be used with a socket for the rest of the way, nightmare 👌💯

Great video am finally getting around to doing my own on 407 peugeot looks same , Resoect 👍

[@AdrianDragan]

Hi. I'm glad my video is helpful for you.

[@bisley95]

HELLO AD I got socket over tensioner but it kept slipping off so I tried a longer socket but that did not fit on so I was wondering is there another way of doing the socket so I can put a pin in, all the bolts no problem just pulling the lever back to stick 4mm rod in is stopping me doing it

[@omrfrksy]

Thank you Adrian. Very efficient video.

[@AdrianDragan]

Thank you for your appreciations.

[@lukegorny8283]

Absolutely fantastic, thanks for this! Much appreciated 👍

[@DeanRowntree]

Could the tensioner rocking 5-10mm very quickly affect the alternator charging efficiently? The replaced tensioner in the video is very stable but mine is moving a lot. I'm having low battery problems and came looking for an alternator replacement video. I'm wondering if the tension in the belt is decreasing and affecting the alternator performance.

[@AdrianDragan]

Hello. It is possible that the pulley on your alternator has problems or even the alternator have problems. Those vibrations in the tensioner are not good. Vibrations can also be caused by a crankshaft pulley with problems. I recommend going to a car service for a check.

[@e28love68]

Great tutorials, well done mate

[@malcolmlongfield3378]

Thankyou for the video lets just hope i can put it into practice when i order my replacement.

[@philippeperrier3263]

Very nice video. we understand everything, it's well filmed

[@akubel33t]

Thank you very much for this! I could not figure out how to untension it so I cut off the fan belt with a knive 😬.

[@trevorwilliams6604]

What does it mean if after putting a new tensioner on the tensioner is bouncing up and down like mad not smooth like your one?

[@AdrianDragan]

Hello. You may have a worn belt (if you have not already replaced it), a worn crankshaft pulley or a worn alternator pulley.

[@leonperry123]

Thanks. I'll be doing this myself now I've seen this video.

[@sorincrihan8800]

Salut La citi newtoni ai strins suruburile? mersi

[@AdrianDragan]

[@sammahasona]

Great stuff and clear instructions. Thank you.

[@AdrianDragan]

Glad it was helpful!

[@sammahasona]

@@AdrianDragan yeah I managed to change mine yesterday. Went well. Thanks to you

[@RioTintoGoAwayFromDrinaRiver]

Which type of bearing (what number) tensioner have? Is it possible to change bearing only?

[@AdrianDragan]

Hello. I'm sorry, but I don't know what kind of bearing it uses. But I don't really think it's a good idea to replace only the bearing because the plastic pulley can have cracks.

[@RioTintoGoAwayFromDrinaRiver]

@@AdrianDragan I can buy spare part, but I want to make new solid state part. Because of that, I will buy new bearing and make new alluminium roller on cnc machine. I want to make it clear that car industry is to much expensive with no reason and my "DIY" part can last much longer. It is not about money any more. Thanks! 👍👍👍

[@olliecampbell9045]

Just found this video extremely detailed and helpful, i have exact setup as shown in the video citreon c4 1.6hdi 2009 and recently noticed on cold startup after 1-2 mins i have this sound like a ticking noise from a clock if that makes sense then drive until engine is warm and the sound is gone ... in your opinion do i have the same problem i believe i do after watching this

[@AdrianDragan]

Hello. You can check if the noise is coming from there by removing the belt before starting the cold engine. Let it run for two to three minutes and see if there is any more noise.

[@olliecampbell9045]

@@AdrianDragan Thanks Adrian, I’ll try that when I get back much appreciated.

[@olliecampbell9045]

Update I did what you said and it turned out to be the tensioner after all thanks. I don’t suppose you know why anti pollution system fault has poped up on the car today and won’t start??

[@06patrisia]

Salut Adrian.....nu inteleg ceva,poti te rog sa mi explici...deci ai scos intinzatorul care avea 3 suruburi,da?,ai scos primele doua dupa care la i inpins in fata si ai intodus un fel de cui in tr un orificiu dupa care la i scos si pe al treilea surub si a iesit afara intinzatorul ,ok..intrebarea mea este...la noul intinzator cum avea acel cui de blocaj in acea mica gaura,multumesc si scuze de deranj

[@AdrianDragan]

Salut. Intinzatorul nou vine din fabrica cu acel cui, practic acesta blocheaza intinzatorul in pozitia in care poti scoate cureaua.

[@predragsinko2513]

Great job. What's the purpose or how did you find out to change tensioner.

[@AdrianDragan]

Some noises may show that the roller or tensioner is worn. You can remove the belt and turn the roll, if you hear noises like at the beginning of my video then you have to replace it.

[@MFAIZAL2010]

Absolutely a good job mate 👍👍👍

[@ZippyPenguinTribute]

Great video buddy, I think mine on my DS3 needs doing as there is a slight chirping coming from that area, do you think its the Tensioner?

[@AdrianDragan]

Hello. I don't know exactly if it is from the tensioner or not, it would be best to go to a mechanic to check exactly where the problem is.

[@ZippyPenguinTribute]

@@AdrianDragan Just a follow up on this! belt gave up and came off, nursed it home but you can't get a ratchet it to loosen the back nut to get the tensioner off, no room on a e-hdi engine!!

[@veogenix]

Brilliant! Thank you very much keep up the great video guides!

[@nonocino2631]

If there is a vibration and it is not replaced, what are the results please

[@AdrianDragan]

Hello. High vibrations can damage the alternator pulley, the crankshaft pulley, the belt. If it vibrates, replace it.

[@stefanm67]

Great video! 👍 Thank you very much.

[@urduforall103]

Very nice 👍🏽

[@kostalakoste]

Thanks for a great video. Really helpful. One question though, how did you know it required replacement? What kind of sound did it have? Mine has a sound like metalic ringing (don’t know how to express correctly. I’m wondering if it needs to be replaced or not...

[@AdrianDragan]

Hi. Take off the belt and turn the roller as you see in my clip at the beginning. If you hear loud noises as you turn the roller then the roller and tensioner needs to be replaced.

[@Mr330d]

@@AdrianDragan how to tell if it’s this tensioner or the crank pulley ? I have an annoying rattley noise occasionally on 1.6 HDI

[@crozolrebeu]

Thanks for video it was very helpful. I change the belt and tensioner but engine on, the tensioner vibrates a little bit. Is it problematic?

[@AdrianDragan]

Hi. If it vibrates very little, it's ok.

[@crozolrebeu]

@@AdrianDragan okay thanks

[@Ytacshesar]

it's the same focus 1.6 tdci 2007. it help me so much!

[@DrJajeczny]

Is it correct, that we tighten mounting screws of tensioner with only 21Nm (+-2) of force?

[@AdrianDragan]

Hi. As far as I know, the tightening for those screws is 20Nm. So you squeezed correctly.

[@shanekneeshaw3483]

Should thread lock be used on those bolts please

[@AdrianDragan]

You can use the medium thread locker.

[@seemaab]

You could have rolled the new one to compare the sound. Could it cause ratting in a car?

[@AdrianDragan]

Hello. The new one makes no noise at all.

[@theoriginalarian]

amazing video btw

[@bridgendesar]

My pulley is vibrating back and forth 5-10mm, is that most likely a stretched belt? EDIT: decided to hedge my bets and order both tensioner and a belt

[@AdrianDragan]

You made a good decision.

[@andrealucatrombetta8667]

Hi, How did you take off the tension to install the bottom tensioner?

[@MongooseTacticool]

@@andrealucatrombetta8667 To install the last bolt, you remove the factory installed dowel rod that preolads the tensioner.

[@alexanderthegreat9663]

My ds 3 is making a whining noise when I drive . It went in the garage yesterday and he took the alternator belt off and told me the belt ding need replacing. Maybe he should of checked The tensioner? It’s still making the wining noise

[@AdrianDragan]

It is normal to check each pulley: alternator, tensioner, crankshaft and even air conditioning compressor.

[@alexanderthegreat9663]

Adrian Dragan he mustn’t have checked those

[@chowchienvoon1379]

my model is 3008 , can show us how to change the different type of tensioner?

[@iulian1936]

Salut, Cum este intinzatorul si cureaua dupa rulaj? Aceleasi piese am pus si eu dar dupa 500 km intinzatorul are joc acum. Urmeaza sa verific ansamblul si intinzatorul

[@AdrianDragan]

Salut, La mine functioneaza bine. Dar sa stii ca vibratiile usoare ale intinzatorului sunt normale, totusi daca vibreaza mai tare ar trebui sa verifici fulia de la arbore si fulia alternatorului.

[@iulian1936]

@@AdrianDragan o mica vibratie da este normal, dar acu face destul de tare. Urmeaza sa le verific. In special fulia de la AC. Intr o zi a facut un zgomot usor iar la accelerare a tacanit ca si cum ar cupla AC ul ai dupa si a revenit. Ms de raspuns

[@AdrianDragan]

@@iulian1936 Acele zgomote ma duc cu gandul la o fulie de alternator blocata. Fuliile de alternator au un fel de ambreiaj unisens in interiorul lor si atunci cand acel mecanism se strica incep sa faca un zgomot metalic, un fel de tacanit.

The problem is if the belt snaps that lug on top of the tensioner goes all the way back under the engine mounting then there's no access to it
