How to tighten the power steering pump belt of Haval H6?
2 Answers
Haval H6 tightens the power steering pump belt by adjusting the position of the power steering pump. Below is the relevant information about the power steering pump principle: 1. When the car is turning, the torque sensor "feels" the steering wheel's torque and the intended turning direction. These signals are sent to the electronic control unit via the data bus. 2. Based on the transmitted torque, turning direction, and other data signals, the electronic control unit sends action commands to the motor controller. The motor then outputs the corresponding amount of torque as needed, thereby generating power steering assistance. 3. If the car is not turning, this system remains inactive, in a dormant state waiting to be called upon.
Last time I adjusted the power steering pump belt myself, it took me the whole afternoon to finally get the hang of it. First, prepare 13mm and 14mm wrenches, then open the engine compartment to locate the power steering pump. After loosening the mounting bolt, slowly turn the adjustment bolt while pressing the belt to test the tension – about 1cm of deflection is ideal. Remember to tighten the bolts in two steps: first secure the adjustment end, then lock the main bolt. Start the car to test steering effort, turn the wheel lock-to-lock twice and listen for any chirping noises. The most troublesome part is the limited working space – I recommend wearing anti-slip gloves. If the belt shows signs of aging or cracking, don't bother adjusting it, just replace it for peace of mind.
