On the 1.6 engine the alternator has a twin pulley one belt runs from the crank to run the alternator and water pump via tensioner and then another runs off the alternator pulley to run the air con generator..I would put an eper pic up but my eper link is now dead..

The cam belt runs off the back of the crank pulley on a toothed cog while the aux belt runs of a pulley at the front..

hope that helps..

If your engine has covered 36k or more or is more than three years old then do that bloomin cam belt as well..

Here you go elearn pic for ya..god you aint half spoiled you lot..





Dont forget you have to tension the belt with tensioner 1a

Pic shows aux belt to the front on the crank pulley ..cambelt pulley is to the rear of it and doesnt need to be touched to change aux belt and pump..but and I mean this if the pump has been leaking then contamination of the cam belt might have already taken place so while your down there check it out..see Roys guide how to remove cam belt cover to inspect it..

No because the cam belt is behind the crank pulley and held under tension by camshafts and tensioners..its a different procedure taking off the cam belt and a great deal more involved more involved..the cam belt has its own tensioner just dont release that one..once again refer to cam belt change to see what I mean..





See you can see the cam belt behind the crank pulley ..the pulley stays in place ..its only the aux [ribbed one] you remove which goes around the pulley..

Another pic ..this time the water pump showing ribbed pulley [2b]and not toothed pulley






And now another edit [found new eper ]



This shows ribbed belt on aircon and water pump and alternator..case closed..

cheers for your help mate

just one more thing . Is it easy ( how long does it take and that ) ? And do you have to jack the engine up ?
