Maintenance Tips of CHERY 515MHA1701600 Idler pulley for TIGGO3X/TIGGO2/Celer Sedan/Celer Hatchback/Celer Sedan Facelift/Celer Hatchback Facelift
- First, ensure the engine is off and cooled before starting the idler pulley replacement for CHERY TIGGO3X, TIGGO2, Celer models. This prevents burns and other hazards.
- Use a suitable socket wrench to loosen and remove the old idler pulley with OE number 515MHA1701600. Check the pulley for signs of wear, such as excessive play or rough surfaces.
- When installing the new idler pulley, align it properly with the belt path. Make sure it rotates smoothly without any binding.
- Tighten the pulley bolts to the specified torque. Refer to the CHERY service manual for the correct torque values to avoid over - or under - tightening.
- After installation, check the belt tension. A loose or overly tight belt can cause premature wear of the idler pulley and other components.
Caution: Do not overtighten the idler pulley bolts. Excessive force can damage the pulley or the mounting bracket, leading to potential belt slippage or component failure.
