I had squealing belt noise. So annoying. Sent it for diagnostics and repair. They said the belt is worn out so they replace it with new ones. Two days later it started again ! This time I jumped right online, read some few tips, checked my belt and realized it’s loose. So I followed your video and tighten it up a bit and now I’m good 🙂! Thank you !!!
Best video on RUclips on this subject, changed one for a customer today. I would like you to mention that the part when you align the pulley the screw is very difficult to locate but it’s inside the pulley. Thanks a lot made my day
Just did the belts on mine. Fun stuff 🫠 took me almost an hour to realize there is an adjuster on the compressor as well. And another hour to break the bolt loose because of the tiny space
A good rule of thumb is that you should be able to just about be able to twist the belt 90 degrees. This has been the standard I’ve run for the last 30 years and has done me well 👌🏻
@@KevsShed yeah I mean I don’t disagree it’s just in these cars I’ve had to tighten em over and over again, it seems to be this specific engine from what I hear
I seriously need some help. I'm doing the exact same job on my 2006 picanto 1.1 with A/C and power steering. I've got a 870mm and 875mm and I got nowhere near enough slack to get this belt on. I love your videos kev and used your VFR DIY videos too. But why on earth didn't you show us the hardest part - putting on the damn belt 🤦🏻♂️... I'm struggling like mad here and can't see a way I'm gonna get either 870 or 875mm belt on! The 12mm bolt is completely out of the power steering pump. The adjuster screw on the A/C has been all the way in and out and makes zero difference! Somebody help me please ASAP
The biggest issue I got seems to be the power steering pump hits into the engine mount and can't go any further in to create more slack that I so desperately need!
My AC has seized, it drives as long as i keep it switched off, Am i putting strain on the engine by doing so or is the clutch for it not engaged?? thanks
It's hard to say without seeing the car. My advice would be to remove the belt and see if the AC pulley can be rotated by hand with the AC turned off. If it turns freely then you will be fine and won't run into any trouble! At least until the weather gets hotter anyway! :)
Hey kev. I tried to replace the alternator but i wouldn't come out from the engine bay. Tried from the top and by removing the tyres. Its like it's stuck in there. Do you have any solutions how?
can’t find a straight answer for it online and was just wondering what the two belt sizes actually are? 2005 1.1L with pas and AC. know this video is quite old but thought it was worth a shot asking
Hey Kev, after both belts are replaced on my 2007 Picanto G4HE, when I put the AC on and press the acceleration pedal at idle, it stays at 3k rpm for a while and then drops. Its responsive, theres only a few seconds "lag" before it drops. Before the belt change I wasnt having any issues like this. Could this be related with the tension of the belts? Cheers
I'm working on exactly this right now but can't get enough slack for moving the power steering pump. That belt's fine but had to come off to replace the shredded alternator belt. You make it look so easy - is it just practiced brute force or is there some element I missed?
@@joewilliams597 Did you remove the bolt completely as I did or just loosened? It does take a little bit of brute force also to get the belt of the side of the pulley too though mind!
@@KevsShed I removed it completely, and also had to loosen the bolt at the swivel point. I couldn't find the adjustor for the AC compress that Menno Boom referred to below. I'll go back and try a bit harder.
once drained it can be refilled via the dipstick tube using a fluid transfer pump, just check a manual for the correct amount of fluid. if it's low then you will find it'll pull away really sluggishly.
I have a kia picanto 2004 and I replaced the clutch cable multiple times it keeps snapping or over a couple of weeks starts to squeak and gets harde to press I think it has something to do with the pedal itself anyone can help me ?
If your car has Aircon then it should be an 870 belt, the easiest way to check is to order one using your VIN or reg number to be certain as there are a few variations

The tension isn't just in the belts. Beautiful story, compelling and rich. Will watch again.

Thanks for the video, saved me a few quid fixing my daughters car :-)
You're a life saver. Thank you for this. Cheers.
No worries Ian, glad you found it helpful!
Helpfull video. I needed to give more slack to the belt by adjusting the AC compressor as well, there is an adjuster for it.
I am having the same problem can’t get the belt on can’t see adjuster for the AC
Please, where is it? Is it the one just below the power steering pump?
You can also draw a route of the belts and cut the old ones with a stanley knife, speeds it up abit :)
Of course you can, but you still need to undo the adjuster to get the new one on anyway so it's not really speeding it up much to be fair!
Nice video:=) very useful, i'm using Kia Morning slx auto 2006 model. still tip top. very economical. thanks for maintenance demo.
Glad it helped!

just a PSA for anybody doing this, you have to tighten these belts pretty hard otherwise they’re going to squeal like hell, just don’t go too far
A good rule of thumb is that you should be able to just about be able to twist the belt 90 degrees. This has been the standard I’ve run for the last 30 years and has done me well 👌🏻

I found out what I was doing wrong. Forgot the locking bolt on the A/C adjuster. So the bolt was moving in and out not the A/C! Silly me

Not sure mate, not seen that myself. I assume it doesn’t do it with the AC off?
@@KevsShed Correct, when its off, the issue is not there. Maybe its a coincidence..in deed its strange
How often should you change the timing belt on a 2009 Kia Picanto 1.0?
I believe that it is every 6 years or 60,000 miles chap 👌🏻
@@KevsShed Thanks for the reply, I’m only asking because I’m buying a Picanto with 84k miles but I’m not sure if the belt has been changed?
@@Danyal-dv9dw Well if it is a 2009 car then it should have had 2 belt changes since new bud!
@@KevsShed Ah ok, well I’m going to get a cam belt check done by Halfords. Hopefully it’s okay.
@@Danyal-dv9dw Worst place to have the check done. Anyways, i’m my service manual, it says 90k, but that’s for the 1.1 engine
Can you demonstrate how to check gearbox oil and how to change it
Hello po what is the size of alternator belt and power steering belt of kia picanto 2004...need your response..thank you so much
I'm working on exactly this right now but can't get enough slack for moving the power steering pump. That belt's fine but had to come off to replace the shredded alternator belt. You make it look so easy - is it just practiced brute force or is there some element I missed?
From moving the pump, not for moving it. It swivels then stops as it hits the engine body.
@@joewilliams597 Did you remove the bolt completely as I did or just loosened? It does take a little bit of brute force also to get the belt of the side of the pulley too though mind!

@@joewilliams597 Did you manage it, it’s a little bit of a ‘mare!
Why didn’t you show the most important bit of putting the aux belt on. 😮. Was it that difficult? 😅
thanks bro. how to change altonator
Sir, please make, how to change gasket silinder head and seal spark plug..?
How did you rotate the engine to line up the hole on the alternator? It never seems to line up by 'accident' hahaha
Hi kev any idea how to refill gear box oil in kia

@@lusean193 its 780mm without pas or air con. 4pk880 is best.
Thank you all for your replies
Pero que numero es la faja
What u use bilting Aircon 880 or 870
If your car has Aircon then it should be an 870 belt, the easiest way to check is to order one using your VIN or reg number to be certain as there are a few variations
880 is best. Fookin nightmare with 870
Came to your video to ask the belt sizes 😅 here the belts that sell for the car are 4pk 675 and 4pk765. Now I'm really not sure what to get
@@AhhSamboiyou ever find out the belt sizes?
@@AhhSamboi4pk778 is the fan belt, so the alternator belt shouls be 4pk675
