Chas and I fix a couple of loose squeaking belts which should be a simple job but we discover that we also need to repair a belt adjuster.

Herman's a lucky motorhome having you two looking after it .

@HermanHitstheRoad 4 года назад

Very lucky. He's just had a new addition this weekend too - air bags. Very lucky

Good Job lads. That alternator is worse to get to than the Disco 2!! Looks like that adjustment bolt has been bodged before. I would have added coppa grease thought too. Would not fancy having to do the timing belt . . .

@HermanHitstheRoad 2 года назад

You are welcome, Bert van Zoest. Glad you found it useful. Do you have a squeaky belt? 👍🚐👍

@bertvanzoest 2 года назад

Herman Hits the Road , yes now i can say: i had one, I did have some trouble getting to the alternator adjusting screw. in your case you could access it from the steeringrod but I have left hand and then there is no passage on the passenger side. Anyway, thank you very much and I follow your movies.👌👍

@HermanHitstheRoad 2 года назад

Thats great news Bert van Zoest. Glad we could help 👍👍🚙

@Simon_W74 4 года назад

Like the way you and Chaze wear different coloured gloves so we know why is who. They really didn't give you much room on the Alternator to adjust it.

@HermanHitstheRoad 4 года назад

That's not intentional BTW. But it's a good idea

Chas should have a new catchphrase. ‘It’s bugggered”

Hello Herman. I'm back in Hungary working on my van. Obviously I managed to fry my alternator with one of my failed experiments. Now I need to change the alternator. BUT It's really deep in there. Unlike yours my bolts are very tight. I lack proper tools. So I want the shop to take it out. Outside of said shop is a man who can repair the alternator. However it might take him a few days. Get to the point Matt... If I take off my alternator can I still drive the van for a short distance? Thank you!

@HermanHitstheRoad Год назад

Hi Matthew, I don't think you can. You'll flattern your battery

@surfreadjumpsleep Год назад

@@HermanHitstheRoad no I mean I would just drive it just maybe a couple hundred feet. Out of their garage so I'm not taking up valuable space. is anything that is run by the auxiliary belt critical for the health of the engine? The oil pump is not run by that is it?

@DINGSDEAN 2 года назад

I got major problems with my alternator belt on my 1993 fiat ducato 2.5td keeps snapping belts lucky to get 50 mile a belt, alternator spins freely and V belt looks good in line

@HermanHitstheRoad 2 года назад

Interesting, Dean. Do you think it could be too tight? Or maybe something is rubbing on it?

@DINGSDEAN 2 года назад

@@HermanHitstheRoad I'm going to bite the bullet and buy a new alternator to see if it does the trick 😉

@HermanHitstheRoad 2 года назад

It could be shredding the belt but it seems unlikely. Are any of the pulley wheels damaged? Are you able to watch the belt while it's running?

@an04ker 4 года назад

I once did a cam belt and alternator on a friends 2.8 fiat auto trail. Cam belt was easy but that alternator belt what a barsteward. I’ve got a 2.0 jtd in mine the alternator belt is way easier 😂

@an04ker 4 года назад

PS you want to get those inner wheel arches rubbed down and painted before they rust through. Just doing mine this weekend. Horrible job

@charlessmillie8774 4 года назад

Well spotted sir It's on the list 👍 BEAUTY. Chas.
