I need a picture of the Aux. Drive belt without 'Ace Pump' on a 4.6 liter. I believe that my belt was installed correctly by a shop before moving to N.C. If it has been installed incorrectly what are the repercussions? I've driven ~1000 miles so far.

Thanks-

 

Have you looked at the sticker under the hood, should show the belt direction.
If not jut make sure that all the groved portion of the belt is on groved pulleys and you will be fine.
Why do you think yours is wrong? After a few blocks worth of driving you would know if there were a problem, alternator not working engine over heating of p/s issues.

 

It started when I posted about the water temperature averaging 208 - 212F at idle while waiting for son at school. It was suggested to check a few things w/ belt configuration being one of them. I have a picture from a post on another forum where a person had pictures disassembling his motor for a blown head gasket. I noticed from the picture that my belt configuration did not match his configuration. I did not know or think that it could work properly if not installed correctly. I looked at RAV but the picture includes the Ace pumpe.

I'll check under the hood for that picture.

 

If you had it backwards you would have had a major over heat because the water pump would be spinning backwards.
You have another issue to address if you want to lower the temp level. If you want some help, send me your number and I'll call you.

 

Belt route on my 4.6 liter shows belt going from PAS pulley under/up/around left side idle pulley up and up/over/around AC compressor to under/around Vicous fan pulley

vs.

Belt route on other 4.6 liter showing belt going from PAS pulley directly to top/over AC Compressor pulley coming back under/around right side of idle pulley to under/around Vicous fan pulley

Which one is the correct route?

I saw that... this works for the 2003 4.6 liter too I'd imagine?

 

Yes, same belt routing as the other years.
Rover didnt change anything from DII to DII.
