Why am I finiding installing a fan/drive belt so confusing, any I missing something??
hi, nice to see all.
It seems the problem was the fan belt/serpentine belt.
When I took wheel off I notice the fanbelt/drivebelt was off already it must have fell off during driving, manual says to put a 8mm bolt in bracket to relieve pressure on tensioner to remove old belt but that was absent anyway so I did not put any bolt in.
I bought a new belt but am struggling to put it on, like when trying to slot the ribbed belt onto the ribbed pulleys when I let go it simply falls off ! how is one supposed to put the belt on without it coming off the second you let go ?!
I've improved access top and below so access is good, just can't figure how to get said belt to stay on .
cheers

but 2 things....you could very easily have the wrong belt, or you have routed the belt totally wrong.
The latter very easy to do if you did not know what way it was routed to begin with.

If it's auto tensioner, You need to load the tensioner back up and lock it as you said... fit the belt, release the pin
Dead simple... mind your fingers!!! As you'll end up loading it up near a full rotation
You not found the Focus section yet, it's just down the main page about half way...?
I'd also suggest just one thread maybe in the projects thread as your separate threads every half hour are quite frankly getting boring and taking the piss!
Just a thought... nobody on here minds helping out, we just don't want the general section full of separate Focus threads

Same age, model, engine etc

Was a good effort at a wind up
