4 Answers
The belt model is 6PK1757. Below is more information about the timing belt: Note 1: As part of regular maintenance and comprehensive inspection, the timing belt should be included in the routine maintenance schedule. Neglecting this, failing to regularly inspect and promptly replace a faulty timing belt, may lead to serious consequences. Note 2: Unlike the accessory drive belts, the timing belt is accessed based on the engine and engine compartment layout. In most cases, the timing belt cover, at least the upper part of the cover, can be removed or moved aside. A belt with improper tension should be replaced promptly.
With years of experience in car repair, I know that the commonly used alternator belt model for Wuling Hongguang 1.2 is PK1190, but the specific model depends on the chassis number and year. For example, the 2015 version might be different. The belt doesn't just power the alternator; it also drives the air conditioning compressor and water pump. Once worn or broken, it can cause charging issues, quickly draining the battery, and in severe cases, the car may stall, affecting driving safety. Check the belt every 50,000 kilometers for cracks or looseness. When replacing, make sure to properly install the tensioner to avoid subsequent loosening, which can cause noise or damage. It's recommended to visit an authorized repair shop to check the vehicle manual or take a photo and send it to a parts supplier to confirm the model. Don't cheap out and buy off-brand belts, as they may not last long and cause more trouble. Regularly check the belt's softness and hardness to prevent unexpected breakdowns.
Last year, I replaced the belt on my Wuling Hongguang 1.2 myself. The model is usually PK1190. Just search 'Wuling alternator belt' on Taobao and you'll find plenty of options. DIY is simple, a set of tools for twenty yuan gets the job done, saving you a hundred or so in labor costs compared to going to a shop. Before buying, measure the length of the old belt or check the car's label number. Buying the wrong size might cause slipping, overheating, or even burning out. The original manufacturer's belt is more expensive but lasts over two years, while aftermarket ones cost tens of yuan and wear out in half a year, wasting money and time. Here's a tip: while replacing the belt, take the opportunity to clean the dust in the engine compartment. It makes the transmission smoother and can even improve fuel efficiency a bit—small effort, big reward!
The common belt model for the Wuling Hongguang 1.2 alternator is PK1190. Verification is simple: check the label under the vehicle hood or the maintenance manual. Using the wrong model can shorten the alternator's lifespan, leading to insufficient charging, dimming lights, weaker horn, and in severe cases, dangerous roadside breakdowns. Replace it every 60,000 kilometers or immediately if cracks are found. If unsure, consult an authorized service center—it takes just minutes and avoids unnecessary expenses.
