Hi , have an Apache Euro 1 rotatorvator , it doesn't seem to have much guts in it , does it have a drive belt that needs adjusting if so help in doing so greatly appreciated Rob

It sounds like a loose serpentine belt that needs adjustment, or to dry, adjust or replace it.

sounds like your ignition timing is mal-adjusted. The timing is off. Go buy a Haynes repair manual and look in the section on how to re-time your motor. Has to do with re-adjusting the distributor's position in relation to the camshafts (you have 2). You may also need to change the timing belts.

The vibration is due to the rubber in the motor mounts wearing out. I change mine periodically with Urethane motor mounts.

GENERATOR DRIVE BELT INSPECTION

1. Check the drive belt and pulley for wear, cracks, and fraying. Replace if necessary.

2. Measure the drive belt tension with a tension gauge.

Tension lb (N)

3. Measure the deflection by applying moderate pressure (221b,[9S N]) midway

between the pulleys. Adjust if necessary.

Deflection lb (N)

Adjustment

1. Loosen the generator mounting bolt and adjusting bolt.

2. Deflect the generator to achieve the specified deflection.

3. Tighten all bolts and recheck the tension.

Replacement

1. Remove the A'C and PS drive belt, if equipped.

2. Loosen the generator mounting bolt and adjusting bolt.

3. Remove the generator belt.

4. Install the new generator belt and adjust it to specification.

5. Tighten all bolts to the specified torque.

Tightening torque:

Mounting bolt:

2 7-38 ft-lb (37-52 Nm)

Adjusting bolt:

14-19 ft-lb (19-25 Nm)

6. Install the AC and PS drive belt: if equipped. and adjust to specification.

PROCEDURE Removal & Installation


2.7L Engine

1. Loosen the tension adjust and remove the A/C compressor drive belt.
2. Attach a 3 / 8 inch drive ratchet to the automatic belt tensioner.
3. Rotate the belt tensioner counterclockwise to release the belt tension.
4. Remove the accessory drive belt, starting with the water pump pulley.



To install:

1. Position the accessory drive belt around every pulley except the water pump pulley.
2. Rotate the drive belt tensioner clockwise, install the accessory drive belt and release the tensioner.
3. Position the A/C Compressor drive belt over the crankshaft pulley and A/C compressor pulley.
4. Tighten the drive belt tensioner.
5. Ensure the belt is seated properly on all of the pulleys.

Removal

1. WARNING: USE CAUTION WHEN REMOVING OR INSTALLING DRIVE BELT TO MAKE SURE THAT TOOL DOES NOT SLIP.
   Using a 15 mm socket or wrench attached on drive belt tensioner pulley bolt. Rotate drive belt tensioner (6B209) clockwise to remove drive belt from pulleys.

Installation

1. Install drive belt over all accessory pulleys (except drive belt tensioner ).
   

1. Rotate drive belt tensioner as described under Removal to install drive belt over drive belt tensioner pulley. Make sure that all V-grooves make proper contact with pulleys.
   

Check the tension of your belt(s). You may have spilled some fluid on them too.

If it is a serpentine belt is is self adjusting. So if it is squealing then it needs replacing as it is worn out. And also possibly the tensioner needs replacing as it may not be holding sufficient tension on the belt. If it is a drive belt it more than likely still needs replacing as it will have become glazed from slipping. On a drive belt it is adjusted by loosening the mounting bracket on the A/C and moving it in a direction that tightens the belt.

This procedure involves correcting the tension on the power steering accessory and A/C compressor drive belt.

1. Loosen the power steering pump locking bolts A and B and pivot bolt C(Illustration 1 and 2 ) to allow adjustment of belt tension.
2. Using a 1/2" breaker bar, adjust belt tension by applying torque to the square hole "D" on the power steering pivot bracket. Adjust the tension as follows:

Belt tension with no belt replacement: A. Using the Belt Tension Gauge Special Tool Kit C-4162, adjust the belt tension to 100 lb.
B. Tighten in order, first tighten the locking bolt A to 27 Nm (20 ft. Ibs) then, bolt B to27Nm (20 ft. Ibs). Finally tighten the pivot bolt C to 54 Nm (40 ft. Ibs).
Belt tension with belt replacement:
A. Using the Belt Tension Gauge Special Tool Kit C-4162, adjust the belt tension to 135 lb.
B. Tighten in order, first tighten the locking bolt A to 27 Nm (20 ft. Ibs) then, bolt B to 27Nm (20 ft. Ibs). Finally tighten the pivot bolt C to 54 Nm (40 ft. Ibs).
C. Start the engine and allow the vehicle to idle for 15 minutes to allow the belt to seat.
D. Repeat the belt tensioning procedure, set belt tension to 135 lb.
