Hey guys,
Fixing a buddies 07 4.8i, ac not working, looking around bay with flashlight noticed ac belt is slipped off...
Ok i did some research and from what almost everything ive seen online it states the e70 ac belt is a stretch type fit belt that stretches onto the pulleys with a tool..
So no problem ordered a new belt went to put it on today, i got the belt over both pulleys.. And its loose.
Now im thinking wtf suppost to stretch on and from everything i read says no tensioner (i have a 06 4.8is, his is same n62 motor) so im thinking why the hell is there no tensioner here. I look around the bay underneath part of me is saying theres gotta be a tensioner but even if it broke it cant just vanish.
Well i dig deeper and find it nicely tucked away behind some coolant hoses at very bottom it snapped off.
Any info saying the e70 4.8 has no tensioner is FALSE. I checked my car quick i just replaced mine not to long ago to see if i could swap mine in for him and just order a new one myself, but on the 4.8is its a mechanical tensioner his is a manual one, so no go..
Since it was snapped off though i want to make sure i route the belt correct and mount it right, cant seem to find a belt diagram for the 07 e70 4.8i all i find is for my 4.8is.. The 4.8is one mounts in a different spot then the 4.8i.
Anyone have one?
