4. സജ്ജീകരണവും ഇൻസ്റ്റാളേഷനും
Installation of a serpentine belt requires specific tools and knowledge. If you are not confident in your ability to perform this task, it is recommended to seek assistance from a qualified automotive technician.
4.1 ടൂളുകൾ ആവശ്യമാണ്
- Serpentine belt tensioner tool (specific to your vehicle)
- സോക്കറ്റ് റെഞ്ച് സെറ്റ്
- കയ്യുറകളും സുരക്ഷാ ഗ്ലാസുകളും
- Diagram of the belt routing (usually found under the hood or in the vehicle service manual)
4.2 ഇൻസ്റ്റലേഷൻ ഘട്ടങ്ങൾ
- തയ്യാറാക്കൽ: Ensure the engine is off and cool. Disconnect the negative battery terminal. Locate the belt routing diagram.
- ടെൻഷൻ ഒഴിവാക്കുക: Using the serpentine belt tensioner tool, rotate the tensioner pulley to relieve tension on the old belt.
- പഴയ ബെൽറ്റ് നീക്കം ചെയ്യുക: Carefully remove the old belt from all pulleys. Note its routing for reference.
- പുള്ളികൾ പരിശോധിക്കുക: Check all pulleys for wear, damage, or excessive play. Replace any faulty pulleys before installing the new belt.
- പുതിയ ബെൽറ്റ് ഇൻസ്റ്റാൾ ചെയ്യുക: Route the new ACDelco 12654815 serpentine belt according to the diagram, ensuring it is correctly seated in all pulley grooves. Start with the smooth pulleys first, then the ribbed ones.
- ടെൻഷൻ പ്രയോഗിക്കുക: Once the belt is correctly routed, use the tensioner tool to rotate the tensioner pulley again, allowing the belt to slip over the final pulley (usually the tensioner itself). Slowly release the tensioner.
- ഇൻസ്റ്റാളേഷൻ പരിശോധിക്കുക: Double-check that the belt is properly seated on all pulleys and that there are no twists or misalignments.
- അവസാന ഘട്ടങ്ങൾ: Reconnect the negative battery terminal. Start the engine and observe the belt for proper operation and any unusual noises.

5. പ്രവർത്തന പരിഗണനകൾ
Once installed, the serpentine belt operates continuously with the engine. Proper operation is indicated by smooth, quiet rotation without slipping or excessive noise. The belt's primary function is to transfer power from the crankshaft to various engine accessories.
- പ്രാരംഭ റൺ-ഇൻ: After installation, run the engine for a few minutes and then re-check the belt tension and seating on all pulleys.
- സാധാരണ പ്രവർത്തനം: The belt should run smoothly and quietly. Any squealing, chirping, or grinding noises may indicate a problem with the belt, tensioner, or an accessory pulley.
6. പരിപാലനം
Regular inspection and maintenance are crucial for the longevity and reliable performance of your serpentine belt.
6.1 പരിശോധന ഷെഡ്യൂൾ
Inspect the serpentine belt at every oil change or at least every 12,000 miles (20,000 km), or as recommended by your vehicle manufacturer.
6.2 What to Look For During Inspection
- വിള്ളലുകൾ: Small cracks across the ribs are normal with age, but deep or numerous cracks indicate replacement is due.
- Fraying/Shredding: Any signs of material fraying, shredding, or missing chunks require immediate replacement.
- ഗ്ലേസിംഗ്: A shiny, hardened appearance on the belt ribs indicates glazing, which can lead to slipping.
- മലിനീകരണം: Oil, grease, or coolant on the belt can cause degradation and slipping. Identify and fix leaks, then replace the belt.
- Rib Wear: Uneven wear or missing ribs.
- Tensioner Condition: Check the automatic tensioner for proper operation. It should maintain consistent tension. Look for excessive vibration or play.

6.3 വൃത്തിയാക്കൽ
Avoid using belt dressings or cleaners, as these can damage the belt material. If the belt is contaminated, identify and fix the source of the contamination, then replace the belt.
7. പ്രശ്നപരിഹാരം
Common issues related to serpentine belts and their potential solutions:
| ലക്ഷണം | സാധ്യമായ കാരണം | പരിഹാരം |
|---|---|---|
| Squealing or Chirping Noise | Loose belt, worn belt, misaligned pulley, worn tensioner, contaminated belt. | Inspect belt for wear and tension. Check pulley alignment and tensioner function. Clean or replace belt if contaminated. |
| ബെൽറ്റ് സ്ലിപ്പിംഗ് | Insufficient tension, glazed belt, oil/coolant contamination, worn pulleys. | Check tensioner. Inspect belt for glazing or contamination. Replace worn components. |
| Cracked or Frayed Belt | Normal wear and tear, excessive heat, misaligned pulleys. | Replace the belt. Inspect pulleys for alignment and wear. |
| Loss of Power Steering/AC/Charging | Belt has broken or slipped off pulleys. | Immediately pull over safely. Inspect and replace belt if broken. Re-route if slipped. Address underlying cause (e.g., seized pulley). |
