Drive Belt Falls Off
Definition
The drive belt falls off during normal operation or does not ride correctly on the accessory drive pulleys.
Diagnostic Aids
If the accessory drive belt repeatedly falls off the drive pulleys, this is most likely due to pulley misalignment.
An extra load that is quickly applied and released by an a ccessory drive component (e.g. A/C compressor) may cause
the accessory drive belt to fall off. In th is circumstance, confirm the fault by operating the accessory drive components in
turn, noting which one caused the belt to fall off.
Lack of drive belt tension may also cause the belt to fall o ff the pulleys. Low drive belt tension could be caused by one of
the following:
• an incorrect drive belt length,
• a faulty drive belt tensioner, or
• a stretched or faulty drive belt.
Test Description
The numbers below refer to steps in the diagnostic table.
2 Confirms the condition of t he drive belt. Damage may have occurred to the dr ive belt when it first fell off or it may
have been damaged which caused the belt to fall off.
4 Misalignment of the pulleys may be caused by:
• the incorrect installation or mount ing of an accessory drive component,
• the incorrect installation of an a ccessory drive component pulley, or
• a damaged or bent accessory drive pulley.
Test for a misaligned pulley using a suitable straight edge in the pulley grooves across two or more pulleys. If a
misaligned pulley is found, refer to the service informa tion for the particular component, for the correct pulley
replacement procedures.
5 Inspecting the pulleys should include an inspection for dents or other damage that would prevent the drive belt from
seating correctly in all of the pulley grooves or on the smooth surface of a pulley when the back side of the belt is
used.
6 Accessory drive component mounting brackets that are bent will cause the drive belt to fall off.
7 Inspection of the fasteners can eliminat e the possibility that an incorrect fastener was installed. Missing, loose or
incorrect fasteners may cause pulley misalignment from the fasteners moving under load. Over-tightening of the
fasteners may cause deflection of mounting brackets and result in misaligned accessory drive pulleys.

Replace
NOTE
• Quicker and more complete draining will
occur if the engine oil is at normal operating
temperature. However, care must be taken to
avoid scalding from the hot oil.
• It recommended the oil filter be changed at
each engine oil change, refer to 3.2 Oil Filter.
1 Remove the oil fill cap.
2 To ensure complete draining of the oil pan, raise the front and rear of the vehicle to maintain a level attitude. If not
using a hoist, support the vehicle with safety stands, refer to Section 0A General Information.
3 Clean any foreign material from around the oil drain pl ug and place a suitable, clean drain tray under the engine.
The oil may be hot. Avoid contact with the oil.
Ensure that eyes and skin are protected.
4 Remove the drain plug (1), taking care to avoid sca lding from the hot oil. Allow the oil to drain.
5 Clean and inspect the drain plug threads . If damaged, replace the drain plug.
Figure 6A1 – 24
6 Once the oil has completely drained, reinstall the dr ain plug and tighten to the correct torque specification.
Oil pan drain plug
torque specificat ion ............................................ 25.0 Nm
7 Replace the oil filter, refer to 3.2 Oil Filter.
8 Lower the vehicle to the ground and fill with the specified amount of SAE 5W30 lubricant.
Engine Oil Capacity:
With Oil Filter Change........................................6.5 litres
9 Install the oil fill cap.
10 Start the engine and check for leaks.

Inspect
Inspect the exhaust manifold (1) for the following:
• Damage to the threaded holes for the heat shield
mounting.
• Damage to the exhaust manifold mounting holes.
• Damage to the threads of the exhaust manifold to
exhaust pipe flange studs.
• Damage to the gasket sealing surfaces.
• Using a straight edge (2) and feeler gauges (3), check
the cylinder head mounting face of the exhaust
manifold does not exceed the maximum distortion
specification of 0.25mm.
NOTE
If the surface flatness is not within
specifications, the exhaus t manifold is warped
and must be replaced.
Figure 6A1 – 60
Reinstall
Reinstallation of the exhaust manifold assembly is the reverse of the removal procedure, noting the following:
1 Ensure the exhaust manifold, cylinder head and exhaust pipe flange surfaces are clean.
2 Position a new exhaust manifold gasket onto the exhaust manifold.
3 Apply a 5 mm bead of Loctite 272 thread sealant (or equival ent) to the threads of the exhaust manifold attaching
bolts.
4 Install the bolts into the exhaust manifold. This will prevent the gasket from falling off the manifold.
5 Manoeuvre the exhaust manifold into position and install the exhaust manifold attaching bolts.
6 From underneath the vehicle install the exhaust manifold to exhaust pipe flange nuts.
7 Tighten the exhaust manifold attaching bolts to the correct torque specification.
NOTE
When tightening the exhaust manifold to cylinder
head attaching bolts, begin with the centre bolts,
then alternate from side to side to the outer bolts.
Exhaust manifold to cylinder head
attaching bolt torque spec ification ........... 17.0 – 23.0 Nm
8 Apply an anti seize compound such as Caltex Kopr-Kot e (or equivalent) to the cleaned heat shield bolt threads.
Install the heat shield attaching bolts and ti ghten to the correct torque specification.
