Welcome! This part links the alternator pulley to the crankshaft pulley and the water pump pulley on classic models. On front-wheel drive vehicles, the pump pulley connects the timing belt. A broken alternator belt on a classic will cause poorly functioning devices, because the energy will come only from the battery, and accordingly, if the charge is poor, the devices will malfunction. On the contrary, if the battery is powerful and sufficiently charged, then the devices will not go out for some time and you may not even notice that the belt has broken. And here you need to remember about the pump and pay attention to it. Since the belt binds it, a rupture will lead to the cessation of coolant circulation in the system and the car will begin to overheat.
Note! you will need the following tools: a mounting spatula (a convenient thick stick or a small metal crowbar will do), you will need wrenches for “17” and “19”.
Belt location
Located in the front of the car. In the photo, the red arrow shows the radiator of the cooling system and the bar on which the battery sits (now removed). The belt connecting the three pulleys is indicated in the photo with a blue arrow.
When to change the belt?
The main reason is wear: various kinds of cracks, worn edges, worn teeth. We do not recommend delaying the replacement of the belt, otherwise a rupture will lead to overheating of the engine and even boiling during extreme heat. The battery will quickly discharge in the absence of support from the generator, which will stop spinning and giving out energy.
Note! Have you ever heard a car whistle? The timing belt makes a sound; it occurs for various reasons:
- severe wear often leads to whistling;
- water or any liquid getting on it (for example, coolant gets on the belt when the cooling system pipes are worn out and leaking. Inspecting the belt and pulleys for moisture will help identify the problem);
- low belt tension (adjustment will come to the rescue, read below);
- poor quality of the belt, sometimes it’s just an oak belt (by the way, it hardens in cold weather).
Most cars in the winter make a whistle when starting the engine, but a warm car no longer whistles - a sign of a stiff belt.
The video below can save you in an emergency: if your belt suddenly breaks on the road and there is no spare, a regular belt or tie will come to your aid! Watch the video in detail and remember, you never know, anything will come in handy in life.
How to replace the alternator belt on a VAZ 2107
The quality of such a Soviet, and now Russian car, as the VAZ 2107 has been proven over the years. Over time, during the operation of any car, including foreign cars, the need arises to replace some important wearable elements. These engine elements include the alternator belt of the VAZ 2107 car. How to determine that the VAZ 2107 alternator belt needs to be replaced, what is required to carry out such a procedure, as well as the purpose of the device, we will find out in the material.
GENERATOR BELT FOR VAZ 2107
"Seven" came off the assembly line of the Volzhsky Automobile Plant in the period from 1982 to 2012. Initially, the model was equipped with a drive belt of a currently outdated model, which had a smooth surface without any roughness. However, later VAZ 2107 began to be re-equipped to meet the requirements of the time, which led to the emergence of a new type of belt with teeth.
It should be emphasized that the most popular manufacturer of belt products for the domestic automotive industry is Bosch. For many years, the German manufacturer has been producing high-quality products that, both in size and service life, completely satisfy VAZ 2107 owners.
Among the variety of belts, these products are in constant demand in the car market
The need to replace the belt
Initially, it is important to note that the generator and its drive on a VAZ 2107 car, both injection and carburetor, are absolutely similar. The only difference between an injector and a carburetor is that the injector is equipped with a crankshaft position sensor. When it is necessary to replace the alternator belt on an injection-type VAZ 2107, this sensor must be removed.
During the operation of the VAZ-2107 car, the part in question wears out. The need to replace an element can be determined by the following signs:
- the appearance of cracks;
- whistling when starting the engine, or when sharply pressing the gas pedal, or after driving through a puddle;
- disheveled;
- sagging.
It is important to know! If the alternator belt breaks on a VAZ 21074, the engine will quickly heat up, which can lead to boiling. The battery remains without recharging, so after a short period of time it will run out.
The device in question, unless of course it is a defect, has a certain resource during normal operation of the vehicle. This resource is usually 50-60 thousand kilometers, after which the belt should in any case be changed. How to do this not only correctly, but also quickly, we will consider in the material.
Instructions for replacing the alternator belt
You must initially purchase a new item. Which belt is best to install on a VAZ 2107 depends on the amount of finances available to the owner of the “Seven”. Experts recommend not saving on such an important element and purchasing a Bosch brand part. Products of this brand are of good quality, which is actually necessary to achieve a long service life of the main components of the car.
The belt cannot be repaired, so at the first sign of wear, it must be replaced.
At the next stage, you will need to make sure that you have the necessary list of materials: open-end wrenches for “17” and “19”, a pry bar and a screwdriver. Only after this we begin to replace the product:
- First, loosen the nut that secures the generator itself to the adjustment bar.
- After this, you need to use a pry bar to press the generator to the motor. On injection "sevens" it is necessary to remove the crankshaft sensor.
- Now we remove the old element and put a new one in its place.
- To tighten the belt, you will need to use a pry bar to move the generator. After the device is in place, you can fix the nut.
- If you tighten the belt, then accelerated wear of the pump bearings and the generator itself will begin, which will have a bad effect on the service life of these devices. Also, the belt itself can break very quickly.

Size chart for poly V-belts
Automotive belts are divided into several main types - wide, normal-section drive belts and fan belts. Each belt for air conditioning, alternator and other components is selected depending on the type of car model. Wrapped straps are used to protect the side parts from wear and provide integrity to the entire structure. Cotton and nylon are used as outer covering. Toothed threaded belts transmit forces using the transverse teeth of the belt and the drive mechanism; they are able to maintain a given position of the shafts. When used, such belts do not need to be lubricated; they practically do not stretch or vibrate.
The Rincom company offers a range of components and spare parts for automobiles, including automotive V-belts and poly-V-belts. The company's catalog presents belts for various engines: domestic and imported, cars, trucks, tractors, combines.
Samples of supplied car belts:
| Belt XPZ - 860 | Belt AVX10 - 1030 |
| Poly V-belt 6PK – 1220 | Poly V-belt 6RK - 1790 |
Any car belts that are not in our catalog can be manufactured and supplied to order for various types of passenger cars and trucks of domestic and imported production!

Replacement instructions
How to replace the alternator belt with your own hands?
Let's look at the process using the VAZ 2108 as an example:
- First, the strap is dismantled. To remove the RG, you will need to loosen the fixing nuts at the bottom and on the tensioner itself. During loosening, the generator itself should be moved towards the motor, after which the loosened strap is simply removed from the shafts.
- How to install the alternator belt? In this case, there is nothing complicated - the process of installing the belt is carried out according to the same scheme. The strap is installed on the pulleys, after which the generator is simply moved away from the power unit using a pry bar.
- The tension should be maintained using a crowbar, while the nut on the tensioner should be tightened. Next, you need to tighten the nut and check the installation process. If after replacement there are no extraneous sounds when starting the engine, then the procedure was carried out correctly. If there is a whistle, tighten the strap.
Sorry, there are no surveys available at this time.
DISMANTLING WORK
It is recommended to remove the generator from the “seven” after the engine has cooled down. It is not recommended to work with vehicle components immediately after driving due to high temperatures and the risk of injury.
Immediately before removing the generator, you will need to remove the right front wheel, since the installation can only be reached from under the bottom of the car through the right fender.
It is imperative to securely fix the position of the car with a jack and auxiliary devices (hemp, stands) in order to eliminate the risk of the car falling during operation.
The progress of work comes down to the sequential implementation of the following actions:
- Find the generator housing in the mechanical structure of the car, feel for the bar that secures it to the engine.
- Using a wrench, unscrew the fastening nut halfway.
- Unscrew the nut on the bracket, but do not remove it from the stud.
- The generator housing can be pulled and moved in any direction - this will become possible due to the loose fastening.
- Remove the belt from the landing pulleys and remove it from the work area.
- Disconnect all incoming wires to the generator housing.
- Unscrew the fastening nuts completely.
- Pull the generator towards you and remove it from under the body.

Disk options
When choosing wheels for the VAZ 2107, consider strength, balancing and size
wheels The main parameters that you pay attention to when purchasing. these are radius and width. The manufacturer equipped the car with standard wheels marked 5Jx13H2 ET29. The numbers and letters indicate the following:
- “five” is the rim width in inches;
- “.” profile;
- “13” rim diameter, inches;
- “H2” is the number of irregularities on the wheel rim;
- “ET” letter designation of wheel rim offset;
- “29” rim offset, mm.
The actual disk settings are as follows:
- The number of holes and the circle diameter on the wheels (bolt pattern) is 4x98 mm.
- The diameter of the sleeve is 58.5 mm.
- Rim diameter 13-15”.
- Wheel offset 15-30 mm.
- Recommended width is 5.0-6.0”.
- Mount M12x1.25.
It’s better not to install wider “Seven” rims. For them you need to choose the right tires. They are larger than the fender liners and can touch or rub against the vehicle's structural components.
Consequences of installing wide disks:
- Rapid contamination of the side of the machine.
- When the wheels turn, they rub against the fenders of the board and body, which leads to severe wear and tear on the car.
- While driving, the tires may touch the brakes, which can lead to an accident on the road.
- Increased wear on the wheel bearings as they will bear a greater load.
Discs with a small rim protrusion (the disc will stick out more from the car) are also not installed. In this case, the hub bearing takes on most of the load, so it can quickly fail or jam.
Review of the best summer and winter tires
It's a good idea to buy two sets of tires. For winter it is better to buy studded ones. Michelin Latitude Sport 3 is a good option for summer. It has good stability regardless of the quality of the road surface and makes it easier to overcome even heavy mud.
Nokian Hakka Black has a relatively high cost. However, compared to others, it performs well in the long term. Even with heavy driving it can easily withstand more than 5 years.
General Altimax Sport. A relatively inexpensive option for use in the warmer months. Even at high speeds this tire model is practically inaudible. Allows you to easily move at speeds up to 190 km/h.
FULDA KRISTALL MONTERO 3 has an unusual appearance. The deep tread and the presence of a large number of longitudinal grooves allow you to move through puddles at high speed. Hydroplaning is excluded.
PREMIORRI SOLAZO. This is a tire that allows you to move without problems even in difficult road conditions. The low weight of the tire saves fuel.
The choice of winter tires should be taken more seriously. With a limited budget KAMA 505 Irbis. good decision. The protector deteriorates quickly. However, this point is fully justified by the low cost of the model. Positioned as all-season.
Nokian Hakkapelitta 8. modern tire for passenger cars. It differs from analogues in reliability and maneuverability.
Nordmaster tires have an original tread pattern and a number of other important advantages. The presence of studs allows the driver to feel confident on asphalt and ice.
A distinctive feature of the TungaMaster is the presence of solid ribs in the design. They provide rigidity, but at the same time ease of movement of the car.

Selecting a pump and alternator belt | Topic author: Rasikha
People, tell me which company is better to buy?
Lyokha (Henrika) I’ll tell you one thing about the pump: don’t use it with a plastic impeller.
Dmitry (Pahoran) Bosch belt
Alexey (Steropes) About pumps here https://www.semerka.info/forum/viewtopic.php? f=5&t..
Alexey (Steropes) took it because I got a counterfeit one, it didn’t last even five thousand, the bearing became loose, I installed the same one, but bought in another store - so far everything is fine. But in general, most likely, if it’s a real part, it will serve its purpose. Before you buy, you need to look at what’s in the store, and on the manufacturer’s website, learn to distinguish a counterfeit from a real part. Regarding the belt: Is there a difference? in my opinion, the best belt, there are 2 belts - 1 under the hood and one in the trunk, I have the most ridiculous rubles for 30-40 thousand 20 have already left
Alexey (Steropes) What about the pump from Shnivy? :))
Alexey (Steropes) Well, yesterday I seemed to have made up my mind.
Sergey (Boniface) I found 2 pumps in my grandfather’s garage, made back in the USSR, wrapped in oiled paper, but for some reason without impellers, replaced with the old one, then it’s already running for 80 thousand
Roman (Gillis) is lucky! in the USSR they knew how to make spare parts.
Nikolay (Haurahi) Pump TZA 2 years so far ok. Before that, the Luzar lasted for half a month, took it to the store, changed it again for a Luzar for about a month and a half and it also squeaked. The belt is an ordinary one, in my opinion, 70 rubles. More than 70 thousand have passed until it falls apart, but there is still a spare in the trunk,
Alexey (Steropes) Nikolay, did you call the TZA by number on their website? Does this really work? And the day before yesterday I bought HEPU for 740 rubles. I’ll wait with the replacement until it’s warmer and when the snow melts - I’m already tired of cleaning the entrance to the garage.
Nikolay (Haurahi) Alexey, I didn’t call the number on the website because I didn’t use the Internet at that time. But it’s still good that this pump has been spinning for the second year without play or whistling. Well, the current quality of the equipment leaves much to be desired, and even that “Ninja”, in my opinion, doesn’t give a damn what is stamped, that’s why you come across plastic pistons and bearings similar to an aluminum alloy; they are molded from what is available.
Roman (Gillis) Alexey, Congratulations on your purchase. Good stuff. I installed the same one for myself two years ago. Now I’m driving happily)))
Dmitry (Pahoran) Alexey, please let me know how the pump is? how far did you travel?
Alexey (Steropes) Well, September is already upon us. The flight is normal. I didn’t note how many in km - it was a little later that I came up with the idea of keeping a logbook.)) But I repeat - I didn’t see any negative reviews on the net. Only positive ones. That’s why I chose Hepu.
Replacing the Priora alternator belt
The process of replacing the alternator belt on a Priora differs significantly depending on the configuration. If you have a car without power steering and air conditioning, then everything will be quite simple. And the usual tools that every car owner has will suffice.
But if you have power steering/electric steering without air conditioning, or with air conditioning without power steering, or both, you will have to tinker. In such vehicle configurations, the alternator belt is wrapped around the engine mount. To replace it, you will need to unscrew one of the supports and hang the engine. In addition, you will also have to unscrew the right fender liner and climb from the side. You won't need any special tools, but you still need an expanded set of wrenches, ratchets, sockets and extensions.
