Hi, i have a ford figo 1.4 16v twin cam i need to change my alternator belt, but i do not see any adjusting brackets . can u explain me how to chsnge it please

TAURUS ! GEN4 CAR. AC DEAD. SAME TOPIC, BELTS LOST.
double posted < why?
but now tells the year and model but still no engine
every engine has different belt setups.
3.0 L ENGINE V6 OR THE ONE IS OHV OTHER IS DOHC TWIN CAM. DOHC HAS 24VALVES,
( ILL ANSWER FOR OHV 12v ENGINE (I TOSSED A COIN)
Air Conditioning, Alternator, Power Steering and Water Pump; OE
OHV IS CALLED 12VALVE. (2 PER CYL) X6
if you dont know what engine is here post your VIN and bingo it is there. engine coded.
the belts are not the same, and some cars came with no AC
I assume all 4 in bold above are there. and need to be driven

ok both
2V X6 = 12V





NOW TWIN CAM 24V ENGINE

Ford's breakthrough model in the domestic market, Ford Figo hatchback is as refreshing as the first generation version. Talking broadly about the overhaul, this version looks a lot better than the predecessor featuring relatively chic styling identical to its sedan twin Aspire.
Here are its main points to keep in mind.
Pros:

• Powerful and efficient engine
• Smart infotainment with Microsoft Sync
• Impressive fuel economy

Cons:

• Cabin quality not upto the mark
• Rear seat headroom
• Smaller boot against the competition

Hope this help (remember comment and rated this).

just loosen alternator bracket adjusting bolt push down alternator slip drive belt over alternator drive pulley.when done installing new belt lift up on alternator to increase tension on belt.if alternator drive belt tension correct from longest span of belt take thumb press on drive belt should get 1/2 inch deflection once correct tighten alternator bracket adjusting bolt.

If your engine are the 1,6 l , it is the same engine as my MX5 91.
You have to remove power steering belt first if you have one. Loosen the mounting bolt located behind the pump pulley, then loosen the tensioner bracket bolts( one on the engine bracket and one in front of the adjusting bolt). After unscrew the adjusting bolt and push down the pump. Remove the belt.
Now, it is the alternator. Loosen the mounting bolt located under the alternator, then loosen the tensioner bracket, but only the only in front of the adjusting bolt. Unscrew the adjusting bolt and pull up the alternator and remove the belt.
When you tightening the new belt, the belt should be able to make a 1/4 turn, to make sure it is not to tight.

Hello, This job is alot harder on your car than most that's for sure. It really depends on your mechanical ability and time vs the amount your willing to pay someone else. This job is easy if your not afraid to loosen the passenger motor mount and slid the engine forward about an inch with a pry bar. (Which sounds alot harder than it is) But the Hanes manual lists alot of things to do to get around the motor mount.

Per Haynes Manual.
Place Coolant Expansion Tank to one side.
Lift out Power Steering Reservoir and put to one side.
Remove DriveBelt.
Unscrew Wiring Loom bolt and move wiring to one side.
Remove Ground Cable from Strut Tower.
Bent the ground bracket down as much as possible.
Move Canister Purge Valve to one side.
Remove Plastic Cover from Alternator.
Unscrew and the alternator mounting bolt nearest the engine first.
Unscrew the other retaining bolt until it has fully disengaged from the bracket (not possible to remove bolt from alternator at this stage).
Lift the alternator out, Pulley side facing upwards.
Take care not to damage or you might screw your surrounding components!

I would say if you dont work on cars or have mechanical ability you should prob take it to a profesional. I hope my answer helped more than it scared you....lol....Have a great weekend and please rate my answer if you felt it was helpful
