Renault Logan/Sandero - replacing the accessory drive belt

The auxiliary drive belt must be replaced if cracks, tears, or peeling of rubber from the fabric base are detected on it. It is mandatory to replace the belt every 60 thousand km, regardless of condition.

There are three options for drive schemes for auxiliary units, depending on the configuration of the first generation Renault Logan/Sandero car.

How to change the alternator belt on Renault Logan yourself?

To ensure that the car does not fail on the road, it is necessary to monitor its technical condition: change working fluids and consumables in a timely manner. One of the regulated operations is replacing the alternator belt. The article provides detailed instructions and a video on how to change the Renault Logan alternator belt.

The purpose of the generator is to provide electrical energy to all vehicle systems. To do this, its rotor must constantly rotate. This is accomplished by a belt drive between the crankshaft and the generator. When the strap breaks, the car cannot move independently. Therefore, it is necessary to monitor the condition of the belt so that there are no unpleasant surprises on the road.

Automatic tensioning device.

Install the removed parts in reverse order. Before installing the belt, the tension roller bracket must be turned clockwise and locked (see above).

When installing the belt, place it on the pulleys and place it under the tension and support rollers in accordance with the drive diagram.

Attention! The drive pulleys for auxiliary units, generator, air conditioning compressor and power steering pump are six-ribbed, and the drive belt is five-ribbed.

Model without power steering and climate system, how to replace the belt

Structurally, the mechanism on the Renault Logan model range in the absence of power steering is simpler. Therefore, repair actions, as well as direct operation, will not bring as much hassle to the owner as other configuration options. But on 16-valve 1.4 or 1.6 engines this option is practically absent.

But there is also a negative aspect of a similar Renault Logan model - during repair operations, there is a high probability of deformation of the generator when the generator belt itself is strongly tensioned.

The generator is not located where it usually is. Therefore, it is more accessible - the dismantling/installation procedures actually do not take long.

The actual dismantling of a broken unit on a Renault Logan and its further repair (or its components, for example, a ring or a pulley) is carried out from the crankshaft.
In this option, you should measure the exact tension force of the new belt drive in order to eliminate possible defects in the generator, and tighten if necessary. For this, a special tester or other equipment is used to check the current serviceability of other units - bearings and regulator. But usually the tension force is determined visually for the motorist, because the use of such a measuring device has its own specifics, so everything should be tensioned correctly.

We lay the belt on the pulleys so that it is shifted to their outer edge, and the inner groove of the pulleys remains free.

After installing the belt, slightly turn the tension roller with a wrench and remove the lock from the hole in the roller bracket and the recess in the tensioner housing. Then, using a 18-inch socket with a ratchet, we turn the crankshaft clockwise three turns by the bolt securing its pulley to achieve the correct position of the belt.

Liquidation of a company due to bankruptcy

The bankruptcy process (signs, stages, responsibilities) is regulated by Law No. 127-FZ. To start it, the owners of the enterprise, creditors or an authorized body submit an application to the arbitration court, which appoints an arbitration manager.

Management may initiate bankruptcy in a situation where it is not possible to fully pay debts of more than 300 thousand rubles. If the Tax Inspectorate or Customs Service does not receive payments for more than 3 months, they file lawsuits in court. Financial institutions issuing loans also do the same. Sometimes lawsuits are filed by creditor counterparties and employees who have not received wages for several months.

Most often this is:

The need for bankruptcy

transactions that are contrary to business interests
failure to take measures to prevent bankruptcy
damage, concealment, destruction of property
late filing of a bankruptcy petition
providing false information in the application
presentation to management persons that does not comply with legal requirements

Criminal liability is provided for fictitious and deliberate bankruptcy, concealment of the fact of insolvency. This must be checked before starting the procedure. After the check, observation is carried out, and attempts are made to improve the health. If shutdown is still required, a simplified or complete scheme is used.

For the first option:

an interim liquidation balance sheet is created
the founders' application to the arbitration court is written
a manager (legal or individual) is appointed to check the documentation
debts are paid, the company is declared bankrupt
the process of termination begins

The full diagram is a little more complicated:

the company continues to operate
an application is drawn up and submitted to the court
a temporary manager is appointed to check the financial condition
the court makes a decision based on the results of the inspection
creditor managers are appointed, measures are taken aimed at increasing solvency
through the sale of property, closure of unprofitable production, staff reduction
debts are paid
bankruptcy is declared, a manager is appointed
information is published in the media
a list of creditors' claims is created
the value of the property is determined, measures are taken to recover debts from debtors
a crowd is being formed for the competition
accounts payable are returned
the meeting of founders makes a decision to terminate the company, a liquidator or liquidation commission is appointed

The liquidator or the chairman of the commission notifies the registration authority about the decision of the founders so that the data is entered into the Unified State Register of Legal Entities. A new balance sheet reflecting assets and debts is created and approved and approved by the meeting of founders.

The following is submitted to the Tax Inspectorate:

Bankruptcy documents

balance
notice (No. 15003)
meeting decision
a receipt certifying the publication of the notice in the media

After 3 days, the Federal Tax Service issues a certificate of receipt of documentation. After paying off the remaining accounts payable, a new balance sheet is created, which is submitted to the Federal Tax Service along with the decision of the founders.

At the same time provided:

notice (No. 16003)
receipt certifying payment of the duty
certificate issued by the Pension Fund
documents confirming that creditors have been notified of liquidation

The application for the arbitration court is accompanied by:

minutes of the founders' meeting
extract from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities
Charter and registration documentation
a document containing the names of creditors and data on the amount of debt
data on material and other assets (balance sheet)
documents certifying the impossibility of debt repayment
manager's remuneration amount

A month later, the court appoints an arbitration manager with the powers of a director. He makes a decision about financial recovery or completion of work. If the business must cease to exist, all assets are sold through auction by bankruptcy trustees.

The cost of bankruptcy includes the costs of:

manager
specialists checking documentation
payment of duty

Diagram of the drive of auxiliary units of a car with power steering (without air conditioning):

1 — accessory drive pulley;
2 — tension roller with bracket;
3 — adjusting bolt;
4 — tension roller bracket mounting bolt;
5 — generator pulley;
6 — power steering pump pulley;
7 - belt

The manufacturer recommends checking the belt tension of auxiliary units of a car with power steering and without air conditioning using a special device (strain gauge tester) at a Renault dealer service.
Considering that the belt may have to be replaced outside of a dealership service center (for example, if it breaks), we will show a method in which you can approximately estimate the belt tension. Remove the right mudguard from the engine compartment. From below the car, use your thumb to press the belt in the middle between the pulleys of the power steering pump and the crankshaft. With a pressing force of ~10 kgf, the belt deflection should be 6–8 mm. To tension the belt, loosen the two bolts 4 securing the tension roller bracket and rotate adjusting bolt 3 clockwise. Having tensioned the belt, tighten the bolts securing the tension roller.

Attention! Excessive belt tension leads to premature failure of the belt and tension roller, as well as accessory bearings.

To replace the belt, turn adjusting bolt 3 counterclockwise several turns and loosen bolts 4 securing the tension roller bracket. Having loosened the belt tension, remove it from the pulleys.

Marking of the drive belt for auxiliary units of a car with power steering and without air conditioning is 5K 1110 (five-strand, 1110 mm long). When replacing a belt, you must also replace its tension roller. Install the auxiliary drive belt in reverse order.

Attention! The drive pulleys for the auxiliary units, generator and power steering pump are six-strand, and the drive belt is five-strand.

When do you need to replace the Renault Logan accessory belt?

Since the accessory belt is subject to constant rotation and friction, over time, the need to replace it becomes inevitable. Slipping of a worn part causes the additional equipment to stop working as needed, and if a break occurs, it stops functioning completely.

Signs that replacement is needed are:

whistles or squeaks during operation of the unit;
decreased efficiency of additional equipment;
complete failure of the equipment driven by the belt.

Since the main function of the drive belt is to transmit torque through friction or engagement, it wears out over time, even if the car is used very carefully. Most often, car owners think about replacement after the first signs of a malfunction appear, but it is best if such a breakdown is identified in advance during a technical inspection.

It is important to understand that if the accessory belt breaks, some important functions are immediately unavailable to you, without which it becomes difficult or impossible to drive the car. If you hear an extraneous squeak or whistle under the hood, then in no case put off visiting a car repair shop for troubleshooting.

If you visit our specialized car service center in advance, our technicians will diagnose and eliminate existing problems with the belt. We will check its tension and, if necessary, replace it with a new one

Why is there a belt tensioner pulley in a car?

What is this and what is the video for?

Despite the fact that in any city the number of specialized service centers is constantly growing, such a breakdown can occur at the most inopportune time and place

Therefore, it is very important to know how to carry out such a procedure on your own.

The first thing we see when opening the hood of a Renault Logan is the engine. But those who think that it is needed only to keep the car moving are deeply mistaken. In fact, the motor is designed to perform a number of very important functions. In addition to the fact that the internal combustion engine (internal combustion engine) is a direct source of energy transmitted to the wheels, it also ensures the functioning of a number of systems, such as air conditioning, power steering and, of course, a generator.

All of the above devices are designed to perform their function, but most of them, including the engine, cannot do without the energy generated by the generator.

The generator charges the battery; if the tensioner pulley is faulty, the generator will not provide the required charge and you will stall.

Clear and stable operation of the generator is possible only when the tension of the belt drive is sufficient to supply energy to all consumers. Therefore, almost most cars, regardless of production, have a corresponding alternator belt pulley.

To check the tension of the alternator drive belt on a car without power steering and without air conditioning, do the following:

Do-it-yourself belt tensioning

This procedure has some differences on cars with different trim levels. Also with air conditioning, the adjustment is automatic. If your car is not equipped with a climate system, the belt is tensioned manually as follows:

In configurations 5K**** (serial number), loosen the two screws that secure the bracket. Using the adjusting element, return it to its place. After adjustment, the mounting bolts are tightened back. The work is done with a hex wrench.
In 4RK *** configurations, the upper mounting screw is tightened. After checking the tension, loosen it again if necessary. The bottom screw is tightened last.

Using your thumb, press the belt in the middle between the generator and crankshaft pulleys.

With a pressing force of ~10 kgf, the belt deflection should be 6–8 mm.

To tension the belt, remove the right mudguard of the engine compartment.

Loosen the tightening of bolt 2 of the lower mounting of the generator and bolt 5 of the mounting of the generator to the tension bar. Moving the generator away from the engine cylinder block with a mounting blade, tighten the belt. Tighten the generator mounting bolts.

Do not overtighten the belt! Excessive belt tension leads to premature failure of both the belt itself and the generator bearings.

When replacing the belt, loosen its tension (see above) and remove the belt from the crankshaft and generator pulleys.

Marking of the alternator drive belt on a car without power steering and without air conditioning is 4РК 718 (four-strand, 718 mm long).

Install the generator drive belt in the reverse order and adjust its tension. To accurately check the belt tension, you must contact a service center.

Preparatory work

Installation of the drive belt is complicated by the fact that it is located in an inconvenient location. There won't be much space to work with, so it's best to put the car on a lift or use a pit. There is also a protective panel in the wing area. It must be removed by unscrewing the fasteners.

Once the car and a set of keys are prepared, you can begin. Be sure to take a bright flashlight to illuminate dark areas under the hood. You will also need rags. It is better to remove dirt from the pulleys, as well as various stones that could become clogged in the ribs

Please note that it is necessary to disassemble the structure only after the engine has completely cooled down

Let's sum it up

Therefore, replacing the alternator belt and brush elements on the French-made Renault Logan sedan is simply an undertaking for the driver, even without solid experience in repair work. Now you know how to change the tension rollers in the model when replacing the alternator belt with or without air conditioning. Moreover, any motorist can perform preventive measures. To solve problems, you just need to try your hand and everything will work out.

What problems might there be?

A sign of a malfunction is an uncharacteristic whistle from the engine compartment (the belt is whistling). This suggests that most likely the pulley and belt have a strong deflection, therefore, using the tool, the belt tension is increased to eliminate whistling sounds. But if sound occurs due to a defective regulator or other problems, a new mechanism must be installed.
The most radical option to eliminate whistling is to install a new belt and pulley.
Whistling also occurs on parts with a broken regulator. If a whistle occurs and a malfunction of the regulator is determined, this unit is removed from its seat and installed.
Also, the cause of malfunctions is the malfunction of the bearing elements. They break for various reasons. The owner of a French Renault Logan 1.6-liter car with power steering, when installing a new component, should rely on the advice of the Renault automaker when purchasing a new part.

Renault prefers Bosch generators and belts in this matter. It is these components and assemblies that are mounted on the sedan. Now you can find many alternatives, but for normal operation you should install Bosch components.

Causes

What is the reason for this phenomenon? If the alternator belt begins to crack before the established replacement period, most likely you have received a defective element. Original products are designed for their entire service life. It is also unacceptable to have oil stains on it. This helps to change the properties of the rubber belt not for the better. It may rupture later. The oil itself can get to the surface due to squeezed out crankshaft oil seals.

If during inspection you find frayed edges, this indicates that the part was not installed correctly. If the tension is incorrect, the problem will be accompanied by a characteristic whistle. As the speed increases, this sound will intensify. A whistle indicates insufficient adhesion to the pulley, which is why the generator will not operate at full capacity. There may be a voltage drop in the vehicle's on-board network.

But in any case, if deformation or cracks are detected, the car needs to replace the alternator belt. Renault Logan 1.6 has a slightly different installation scheme, since it has a hydraulic booster and air conditioning. These units are also driven by the crankshaft pulley. Below we will look at how to replace the alternator belt on a Renault Logan car with and without air conditioning.

Accessory drive

A motor pulley, mounted on a shaft, transmits power to one or more other pulleys. It all depends on the configuration - it may include power steering with air conditioning (Fig. 1) or only power steering (Fig. 2). In the version without power steering, the belt transmits power to the generator.

The tension roller is present in the first two options. For the third case, the following is provided: the force, that is, the tension, is adjusted after loosening screw 5 (Fig. 3).

The regulations for all configurations are the same. According to it, inspection and checking the condition of the belt is performed every 15 thousand km. And replacement is carried out after 60 thousand km. And even if the external condition is good, the replacement is carried out anyway.

Removal and repair

Naturally, in order to remove the generator on Renault Logan, you must first complete the preparatory work:

Place Renault Logan 1.6 on a flat surface, secure the car;
Dismantle the front wheel on the right side of the car (you will need a tubular wrench and a jack);
The final step of this stage is the removal of the special plastic protection.

After this, you can proceed directly to the repair. On the one hand, the alternator on this car brand with air conditioning is attached to just three bolts. On the other hand, dismantling is not as easy as it seems at first glance.

The process itself looks like this:

Initially, the belt is removed. This step is quite simple. To do this, you need to pull the tension roller with a wrench to thirteen, insert any rod into a hole specially designed for this, in fact, fix the roller and perform the final removal of the belt.
Another fairly simple step is to remove the three power steering pump mounts. It should be remembered that on Renault Logan one of the necessary bolts is located on the reverse side of this device. This will allow you to move the pump to the side, although even removing the fasteners will not allow you to perform this operation easily.
The third stage is to disconnect the generator, which is secured with the three bolts described above. The fastener is placed very inconveniently, it is incredibly difficult to get to it, therefore, this seemingly simplest operation will take a lot of time and effort. Naturally, the fixed device must be removed from the place of its direct use. And this is also not entirely easy to do.

To attempt further repairs, the voltage regulator will need to be screwed down. This is a real surgical operation, as you will need to use several instruments simultaneously:

Place several washers of a suitable size into the pulley, and place a nut on them so that it partially sticks out.
Insert the M10 cue ball inside.
Simultaneously working with a spanner wrench, a spanner head and a funnel, perform the intended procedure.

The next step is to remove the cover. It's simple - you only need to unscrew four mounting bolts. To remove the bearings, you will need to purchase a special remover in advance. After this, check the products for serviceability. It is advisable, of course, to change them all, so as not to repeat this not the simplest procedure again. All that remains is to return everything to its original state.

Replacing the drive on a car without air conditioning.

This is relevant for first generation owners of Renault Sandero and Renault Logan.

On Renault Sandero, the alternator belt must be installed using a special device - a strain gauge tester. This is due to the fact that on cars without air conditioning and power steering, the engines do not have a special device - a belt tensioner. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate the tension manually or using a tester. Adjustment is made by tightening the roller bolts. Over-tensioning the belt can lead to premature failure of the generator rollers and bearings.

For this type of power unit, a different type of belt is used - 5K1110. It is also five-stranded, but its length is shorter - 1110 millimeters.
