I usually set it so it deflects about 10mm, that's what the manual says from memory.

hey guys a while ago i changed my timing belt and fan belt car was running perfect still feel like is but it seems sometimes the car will squeal now i think its the fan belt that needs ajusting ..how tight is to tight ..

Buy a can of belt grip.

Robert

tighen it up, use a leaver to move the alt, forget all you have been told about belt's & go tighter, or it will squeal...

I have never snapped one & have tightened the bejebus out of em, 1/2 expecting the car to be back in the next day with no belt, 12 month's later & still going strong, there are suzuki's out there I fitted belt's to 5yr's ago still going strong..

thats not the problem though, if its to tight it loads up the water pump bearing and the alt bearing and makes them noisy and fail prematurely.

yeah but you have to by that

I've got the same problem. There doesn't seem to be a way to adjust it very acurately other than wedging a big screwdriver in there to lever the alternator downwards while boing the bolt up. Mine barely deflects at all but still squeals. I heard a bit of talcum powder can make it grip a bit better, I'm going to try that next.

So tell me the problem, also tell me how much load is to mush for a bearing, cause I have seen suzuki's tightened to this Suzuki approved method go over 270k on the original pump....my ole Gv being on of em..

the way i fixed mine is stated the car let it idle and held a plain candle to each side of the belt until the squeal went away, has fixed the problem for a year so far

^^ dry lube does the same thing, but leave's a mess on the bonnet.
