When I look for videos to help me (clueless) fix my sprinter, it's always the wrong engine or it's a dodge, quite often useless, but you have the same engine as mine and in a short but good video you have answered so many of my questions that I'm ordering a new water pump now! Thanks Also, with the tensioner, as others have said use a socket to pull the tension off and there is a hole that you can stick a 3 inch nail / bolt whatever, to keep the tension off, much longer than that and It gets in the way of the belt replacement
On a 2014 4cyl it takes a 5/16 hex-Allen wrench at the center of the fan and I used a pipe wrench to hold the arbor. I thought I would mention it since there is nothing on RUclips on this 4cylinder.
I dunno why but I couldn’t get the spanner on to begin with was a nightmare couldn’t get the purchase on it to actually adjust the tensioner. Thanks for the info tho! Jason
Hi hope you can help as I am just about to replace a locked Viscous fan clutch , at 2:19 you say that its not a reverse thread so to remove the Fan I would use an 8mm Hex and go anti clockwise to remove it ?
Ausum instruction clear & easily understood one of the best ive seen thank you .
Thank you so much 😄 hope it helps

Thanks man! Glad I could help and thanks for advise in future (hopefully won’t need to do it again 🤣)

Ace video brother 👍
Awesome video pal! I’m just about to change mine on a 58 plate so this is perfect. Thanks
Hope the race went well 💪
Thanks bud 😃 good luck
You use a 17mm spanner/socket on casting in tensioner and rotate it to release tension for serpentine belt removal.

That’s it bud yea. I thought they where all reverse thread but this one wasn’t! So yea just undo the bolt in the usual way
@@TrackAndBeyond Perfect thanks for the quick response, subscribed ;)
Thanks pal 😃
Do not lay a used viscose fan down, it needs to be stood up!
Didn’t know that, what’s the reason for it?
Good video......top man
Thank you 😀
What torque did you use to Tighten?
The torque setting I found was 20nm. However there where a few different specs I found so just a warning
@@TrackAndBeyond So you tightened to 20nm? That seems alot.
Go for 10nm then, I used 20 but like I say iv seen 10, 14 & 20nm as being listed
Yeah u forget the lock tensioner that's why u did haw problem for belt
Ahh that be why then 🤣

A 3 inch nail fits in a hole to keep it the tension off and not get in the way while you put the belt in place, then reverse your tip
