Hyundai Elantra: Timing System / Drive Belt Repair procedures
| 1. |
Remove the drive belt.
| (1) |
Using the wrench, turning the drive belt tensioner (A) counterclockwise. 
|
| (2) |
Disconnect the drive belt (A). 
|
| (3) |
Remove the drive belt tensioner (A) and then remove the drive belt (B). 
|
|
| 1. |
Check belt for maintenance and abnormal wear of V-ribbed part. Replace if necessary.
| • |
Do not bend, twist or turn the drive belt inside out. |
| • |
Do not allow the drive belt to come into contact with oil, water and steam. |
|
|
| 2. |
Visually check the belt for excessive wear, frayed cords etc.
If any defect has been found, replace the drive belt.
| • |
Cracks on the rib side of a belt are considered acceptable. If the belt has chunks missing from the ribs, it should be replaced. |
|
|
Drive belt tension measurement and adjustment
Measure the belt tension using a mechanical tension gauge or a sonic tension meter.
Belt tension
New belt:
637.4 ~ 735.5 N (65 ~ 75 kgf, 143.3 ~ 165.3 lbf)
Used belt:
441.3 ~ 539.4 N (45 ~ 55 kgf, 99.2 ~ 121.3 lbf)
|
| • |
If the engine has run for 5 minutes or more, the belt tension must be adjusted as a used belt. |
| • |
When installing the V-ribbed belt, all grooves on the pulley should be covered with belt ribs. |
| • |
A loose belt causes slip noise. |
| • |
Too tight belt cause bearing of alternator and water pump to damage. |
|
| Using a mechanical tension gauge (BT-33-73F, BTG-2 type) |
| 1. |
While pressing the handle (A) of the gauge, insert the belt
(B) between pulley and pulley (or idler) into the gap between spindle
(C) and hook (D). 
|
| 2. |
After releasing the handle (A), read a value on the dial pointed by the indicator (B). 
|
| Using a sonic tension meter (U-505/507 type) |
| 1. |
Input the belt specifications into the tension meter (A).
Belt type
| Location of measurement
| Input data
| M (Mass, g/m.rib)
| W (Width, rib)
| S (Span, mm)
| With A/C
| Crankshaft pulley to A/C compressor pulley
| 14.1
| 006.0
| 187
| Without A/C
| Crankshaft pulley to alternator pulley
| 14.1
| 006.0
| Actual measurement value
|
| • |
Measurement of S (Span): Caculate average value after measuring the distance 3~4 times. |
|
|
| 2. |
Locate the micro phone (B) close to the center of belt span
(A) and bounce the belt by finger 2~3 times. Read a value on the
display.
[With A/C] 
[Without A/C] 
|
| 1. |
Install the drive belt.
| (1) |
Install the drive belt (B) and then install the drive belt tensioner (A).

|
|
| (2) |
Using the wrench, turning the drive belt tensioner (A) counterclockwise.
|
| (3) |
Connect the drive belt (A).
