How to setup drive belt or serpentine belt Toyota VVT-i engine. VERY DETAILED INFO 

Wow, this could have been a 5-minute video.

There is an extra pully if you have an air conditioner. So keep an eye out for that. The tensioner bolt you use to take on and off the belt may require more leverage then a wrench will give you. I had to use a breaker bar with a socket to get my belt on. Also, there are 3 different styles of belts for the same vehicle. 2 different styles of belts for this vehicle with an air conditioner. So keep that in mind when buying the belt. Just because Amazon says it will fit your vehicle, doesn't mean it will.

Very good video Peter and excellent details and film quality! I was going to do this job for my girlfriend but now that I found something so detailed with basic instructions for beginners she can just do it on her own. Just kidding 😂.

thank you very much for posting your video, it helped a great deal when i replaced the power steering belt, accessory belt and alternator in my 2006 xb. 3 hours for all plus an oil and filter change.

Excellent video. Gives me the confidence to tackle this job today.

Great video. In real life, the 100% correct belt was missing about 1cm to slide on the alternator wheel, so I kept pulling and pulling the tension bold with wrench as you do in the video, untill it snapped and cracked completely. Result: unable to put the belt on anymore.

This was painful to watch but very helpful for me. Thanks

very good show !!! not exactly the way I would do it but very helpful....I have to give him credit for being patient and the comic relief for his English.....Very good job sir very good job...

You are a very patient man. Thanks.

Great job, Peter! Very thorough and informative. I will attempt this today on my 2002 Toyota Camry with 120,000 miles on original belt!!! Yikes!

Thank you for your nice job!!!

EXCELLENT video - thanks for posting. May I suggest some English words that may make it easier for people to follow the very good instructions in future videos? This is not criticism at all, just suggestions that may help you succeed even better: not wheels, but pulleys; instead of holes and hills, 'grooves' and 'ridges' that must 'match up' or 'interlock', or even 'mesh' - (like gears, almost) ; instead of 'rotate' maybe 'slide'; also, be specific on tools - at least the first time you refer to it: '13 mm box-end wrench'; the word 'wrench' - the w is completely silent, so it's just 'Rench' - or here in Texas "Rinch", or in Arkansas - "Ree-yunch" - ha ha, just kidding. Hope this helps, and thanks again for sharing your time and expertise.

Very good explicacion! Thank you!

Very good video. Next time start the engine at the end and let's see it working ;-)

Thank you!

I've found this to be very helpful, thanks Peter 👍🙂

Thanks Peter, you did good. Hope this applies to my SCION XD 2008 going to try today.

You are great peter

I use a 18mm super socket/ratchet to move the tensioner forward. a 19mm will round off the head of that nut on the tensioner if it slips off. good job you make it look simple but things can go wrong........thanks

Forgot to let peeps know that you need to unscrew the lower bolt you cant see on the alternator, if your belt squeaks , you need a bit more tension on it therfor need to readjust the alternator.

You made it look so easy. What's your secret?

Clear description. Tq

Peter, how to you adjust the timing on the timing belt you know how the belt area there a white dot line when you turn on the engine and you use a special timing tool that has a light that blinks? Do you have a video for that?

I have a 1.5 avanza the fan belt is always coming when i start it. i bought a new tensioner and a fan belt bt still comes out on start..

I am SOO happy I found your channel. I have a Toyota Yaris and this helps me so much. I just got my serpentine belt changed on Friday, it was very bad. But after I got it changed, it is making a loud screeching sound. It used to make a low screech before with the old belt. But now with the new one, it's louder than ever. I have to go back on Monday to get it fixed. But what could have happened that made it screech so loud? Do you think it was put in wrong?

Thanks

Thank you very much, gonna try this tomorrow morning, thanks for doing the video

Done watching new friend 🙂🙂

nice, thank you

Hey Peter. I will probaly change the tentioner and everything my toyota with around 340,000km on it. Do you have video of how to change it and adjust it?

How tight do i tighten the tensioner bolt when im done?

Hey Peter, I have a Toyota Yaris from year 2000. But my alternator is in the back. Is it the same method even if the alternator is in the back, or do you use a tensioner pulley instead?

The alternator is as tight as i can make my belt. but it still squeaks. so i think the guy that put my alternator on stretched my belt. or could it be from tension bolt or something?

Hi Peter! What length on the belt should i have on my 1,4 VVT-i with air conditioner? 1560 or 1840mm

Hello sir, what car model and what is the length of that v belt

Very Good Video... Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

what size wrench should I use? I have a vvti 2000 toyota celica gts and an 18mm is a tad to small but 3/4 in and 19mm just round it.?

Thank you for this video.

Dankeschön

Thank you

Sarry i have noa sr 50 cats engen belt more than time i diceded change water pump still cat belt

My belt is squealing and the belt is good. Even tighter? Mine goes about 90 degrees as well.

Thank you, excellent vid just what is was looking for when i do my celica on fri, and im glad its a nice easy job to do, unlike my previous car. To help people visualise it better you could always put up a diagram of how the belt fits around the pulleys like this ww2.justanswer.com/uploads/NewKid08/2009-09-18_144444_DriveBelt01RAV4Fig02.jpg

what is a carpet belt?

Why did they ever do waterboarding when this video exists

Okay so basically im good as long as the back of the belt wraps around those grooves.

when to replace belts in car after how much miles

If Belt slip or move Does it effect generator and stop produce energy to battery ??? Reply plzzz

hi friend, what is the size of this belt? on the car in the video ?

What I want to know is how the hell you get the tensioner pulley system out my bolt hits the frame before it goes loose
