Hi folks, I am sorry to introduce myself with a plea for help but I am currently in the process of trying to fit new drive belts on my doblo 1.3 multijet (2008) I have worked out the tensioner for the alternator belt but cannot for the life of understand how the power steering belt is tensioned, the power steering pump seems to be fixed fast to the end of the block....can someone help me ? Cheers. Jamie
 
Right....I after a huge amount of faffing around I realised on the new power steering belt it says ' stretch to fit'...I then picked up the old belt and the part number is prefixed with 'SF' which again I am assuming is 'stretch fit'

so that's what I did. on with the new water pump, and the other belt, back on with the crank pulley then I ragged the new belt around the pulley by turning the engine over with a spanner and pulled the belt on. not a pretty thing to do but it works...

one thing I have established is that there is no tension adjustment on the power steering belt.

tomorrow, brakes stripped, cleaned and brake fluid change, then new tailpipe, top up the antifreeze and I think I will have a beer then. night all.
