NOTE
Pilling is the small balls (pills) or strings of rubber
in the belt grooves caused by the accumulation of
rubber dust.
Diagnostic Aids
Vibration from the engine may cause a body component or other parts to emit a rumbling noise.
The drive belt may have a condition that cannot be seen or felt. Sometimes the replacement of the belt may be the only
way to confirm the belt is faulty.
If the drive belt has been replaced and the diagnostic table completed, but the rumble is still present only when the drive
belt is installed, an accessory drive component such as the A/C compressor may be the cause. Varying the load to each
accessory drive component in turn, should help isolate which component is causing the noise.
Test Description
The numbers below refer to steps in the diagnostic table.
2 Confirms the symptom exists at the time of diagnosis. Other vehicle components may be causing the noise.
3 Confirms the accessory drive belt is the cause of the noise. Drive belt rumbling is often confused with an internal engine noise due to the similarity in the description. Removing the drive belt and operating the engine briefly will
confirm whether or not the noise is related to the drive belt.
CAUTION
When running the engine with the accessory
drive belt removed, the coolant pump will not
be operating and the engine may overheat if
left unsupervised even for a short period.
NOTE
There may also be a number of DTCs set when
running the engine with the accessory drive belt
removed.
4 Inspecting the drive belt is to ensure that it is not causing the noise. Small cracks across the ribs of the drive belt will not cause the noise and are not justification alone to replace the belt. Belt separation can be identified by the
ply of the belt separating and may be seen at the edge of the belt or felt as lumps under the belt.
5 Small amounts of pilling is a normal condition and is deemed acceptable. W hen the pilling is severe (33% of the belt groove depth), the belt does not have a smooth surface to run on and should be replaced.

Drive Belt Vibration
Definition
Accessory drive belt vibration can be defined as a drive belt that jumps, shakes or rattles. Accessory drive belt vibration
is usually indicated by one of the following:
• the vibration is engine speed related, or
• the vibration is sensitive to accessory drive system load.
Diagnostic Aids
The accessory drive components such as the A/C compressor or generator can have an affect on engine vibration.
To aid in locating which component is causing the vibration, vary the load to each accessory drive component in turn and
note the effect it has on the vibration if any.
Test Description
The numbers below refer to steps in the diagnostic table.
2 Confirms the symptom exists at the time of diagnosis. Other vehicle components may be causing the noise.
3 Confirms the accessory drive belt is the cause of the noise. Drive belt rumbling is often confused with an internal engine noise due to the similarity in the description. Removing the drive belt and operating the engine briefly will
confirm whether or not the noise is related to the drive belt.
CAUTION
When running the engine with the accessory
drive belt removed, the coolant pump will not
be operating and the engine may overheat if
left unsupervised even for a short period.
NOTE
There may also be a number of DTCs set when
running the engine with the accessory drive belt
removed.
4 The drive belt may cause a vibration. Inspecting the drive belt is considerably easier while the drive belt is removed.
6 Inspecting the fasteners can eliminate the possibility that an incorrect fastener has been installed.
8 This step should only be performed if the coolant pump is driven by the drive belt. Inspect the coolant pump for a bent shaft. Also inspect the coolant pump bearings for smooth operation and excessive play. Compare the coolant
pump with a known good pump.
9 Accessory drive component brackets that are bent, cracked or loose may put extra strain on the accessory component causing it to vibrate.

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 accessory drive component (e.g. A/C compressor) may cause
the accessory drive belt to fall off. In this 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 off 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 the drive belt. Damage may have occurred to the drive 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:

NOTE
If required use an assistant to maintain the tensioner in the required position.
CAUTION
If running the engine with the accessory
drive belt removed, the coolant pump will
not be operating and the engine may
overheat if left unsupervised even for a short
period.
Figure 6A1 – 30
Reinstall

12 Remove the three bolts (1), attaching the exhaust
manifold inner heat shield to the exhaust manifold.

13 Using a suitable commercially available non-corrosive cleaning solvent and a soft bristled parts cleaning
brush, thoroughly clean the exhaust manifold.
14 Dry the exhaust manifold using compressed air.

Safety glasses must be worn when using
compressed air.
Figure 6A1 – 59
NOTE
• The same procedure applies to the Right-
hand exhaust manifold.

• To gain access to the lower rear exhaust
manifold attaching bolts (2), apply a slight
downward movement to the coolant inlet
pipe (1).

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 exhaust 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.
