Air Conditioning problem
2006 Kia Spectra Front Wheel Drive Automatic

Yes, my question is that I am in the process of changing the belts on my car and I am stuck on how to finish. I already took out the ac belt but I am having difficulty putting the new one back on. So my question is what is the process of placing the new belt back on? Thanks and any answer would be helpful.

I replaced the timing belt and had to take off the air conditioner power steering and alternator belts and now do not know which way those three belts go back on. do you have a routing diagram or something I can see to put the belts back on?

If it has three separate belts, then there are no diagrams available. The alignment will be very obvious.You have three separate pulley track and a simple visual will tell you which pulleys align with each other.the belts are layered.

Let me know how to goes, we are here to help.

I live in Washington State so it's very cold outside right now. I park my car outside so this may be a factor. When I start up my car, everything is fine. I can let my car warm up or I can just drive it away. When I start driving it though, I hear this loud screeching noise coming under my hood. I went to my mechanic and he said that they are my belts. So he tighten power steering, water pump and alternator belt. Also he changed my power steering fluid too. My car doesn't make this sound all the time, but it has done it three times when I was driving to work in the past ten minutes. It's very bad because I can hear the screeching noise and so can other people. Are my belts going bad, power steering going out, my pulleys or belt tensioner that need to be changed or is my problem all the above? I also had this problem during the summer time, so this is just not happening; but I'm finding out that the problem is more common when it's cold outside.

Any help would be appreciated and thanks for the help!

i would have the belts replaced with good quality belts. they are worn out. once they squeel, they are stretched and will break if they are tightened.

Having problems getting the front belt off so I can change the Alternator belt need to know how to get it off.

Loosen the alternator mounting bolts and then loosen the belt adjusting bolt.

But I have already loosened all of that and I still cannot get the front belt to come off. so want do I do with it now?

Take some pictures of the belt area and post them so I can see what is going on.

Okay, when I get back to the car in the morning I will take some pictures off it and send them to you.

Hi:

It's not that bad of a job other than tight spaces. Refer to our homepage under the DIY section and look up belt routing. There will be schematics for your vehicle that will indicate where the tensioners are located and how the belts are to be routed.

Okay sounds good. take some good pictures.

I will.

Hopefully you got the pictures I sent to you if not you can call me at 7656397376.

Where did you send the pictures too? you can post them to the question just click the add image tab.

Where are the tensioners to loosen the bolts?

Hey I got it figured out but thanks for trying to help me figure it out k.

Hi Donald,

Here is the procedure for this which shows where the bolts are on the generator.

Let me know if you need more information or have questions. Thanks

Your welcome

So I have to remove the power steering belt to get to the alternator belt? How and what boots do I remove?

Yes. Looks like that one comes off first. Here are the adjustment bolts on the power steering pump. Once that is off, you loosen the generator bolts that I circled. You don't remove the bolts. Just loosen them so you can move the generator to take the tension off the belt.

car has a screeching high pitch noise when starting. The previous owner changed belts and tightening, noise increases when AC/heat on.

have all pulleys and tensioners checked, but remove belts first then start car see if it still does it, if not it is in accessory drive.

Thank you HMAC300. Is that a shovel-head? Bear with me here since not a mechanic. So, I will take belts out and when check tensioners and pulleys. what am I looking for? is this an accessible job for beginners? if it does not make noise when i start car without the belts means that is an accessory drive. Where is that drive? Do i need to replace anything?

the accessory drive is alternator/ac pump and power steering pump. check pulleys for noise and wobble if they wobble they will make noise. also if you put a new belt on replace the tensioner as well. a lot of times it's a alternator bearing making noise or clutch on a/c pump.
