just changed da altenator belt and put back everything together. when i started da car i saw smoke coming from the the altenator belt and it started to make this loud squealing noise and it never stopped,plus smoke started to come from there. wat could be the problem? plus i dont know wat way i should put the last pulley in. it has four washers. where do they go? should da rust side face the engine or away from it someone please help me

 

Why did you take the pulley off? It may be on backwards, turn it around and see what happens! I may be mistaken, but there should only be one washer, on the outside of the pulley.

 

put pulley in? four washers? whaaaa?

please provide pics, so we can help you out.

 

its night time over here so il provide pics tomorrow. ok here how it is now,its da pulley 4 wahsers a screw and something dat covers da pulley. two of da washers are gray n da others r black. il tyr to turn it around n ne more suggestions

 

I'm not getting these 4 washers.. there's nothing to do with washers on the alternator, nor a pulley...

first, pull your alternator belt back off and try to turn the alternator.. if it's frozen, then there's your problem.
the alternator belt should go around the crank pulley and the alternator only. If you're trying to run it around a tensioner pulley, you're knocking it way off angle, which will cause it to squeal, smoke, and probably snap the belt- if it doesn't just jump off track..

 

Not to be an a**, but can you please try posting in proper english, so it won't be so hard on our eyes! It'll make it easier for us to help you. Cheers!

 

ok here it is in proper english, i put the belt back on the altenator now i am up to the last belt i think its called the drivetrain belt but its da longest belt on the car i know that for a fact. it has three pulleys. the smallest one is the one im having a problem with. thats the one wiht th e washers and stuff

 

You need a Chiltons book! Check out www.4DSC.com on how to properly change the belts! There are adjusters on every idler pulley so you don't have to take them off. The long belt you are refering to is the P/S-watepump belt. It goes on FIRST, then the alternator belt, then the A/C belt. Print out the article, take eveything apart, put the pulley's back where they belong( There sould only be 1 washer on the OUTSIDE of each pulley), and then put the belts on in the proper order. Good Luck!

 

Bump... Any luck?

 

yeah da altenator was frozen so i need a new one. do u have the link to where thye show pics n tell me how to remove n add another one????

 

Ha! I dropped a pulley last night and figured out the "four washers thing"! Btw: Here's the alternator replacement link: http://www.4dsc.com/articles/drivetr...lacement.shtml It's for a VG, but it should be the same. Someone slap me if I'm wrong!
