Yep, as per the other thread I missed that response about using the shorted belt.

Actually just popped down to Repco and ordered it in, $53 - will swap it over and report back from there.

Thanks

So loaned the missus cl9 to a colleague and she mistakingly tried to move the seat forward by yanking on the bar underneath (not realising they are electric) enough to dislodge it.

Tried to refit...

Missed the replies here about the belt size, will check what size it is and replace if it's the wrong one then report back.

Thanks

My 03 is running a Century NS60LS, 430CCA - has been for the couple of years I've owned it and no problems with it.

Quick update here;

The tensioner seems to have gone again, it's rattling when in gear, stopped with your foot on the brake and when the AC is on. I'm guessing the spring

Yeh I'd expect a drop in acceleration and also the speedo is probably going to be out as a result unless I get lucky with the profile of the tyres matching the same rolling circumference.

Hi guys,

Just wondering if the offsets, widths etc from the current model euro 18" alloys with 235 tyres will fit the CL9? I know they are the same stud pattern (114.3), however I don't want them...

Awesome, thanks for the quick response - yep its AT and I'll go up in a 3 stage increment.

What a PITA these wheel bearings are, especially when you only have a small 12T press and the spindle...

Anybody know or have access to the manual to check what tension the front axle nuts are meant to be at?

Had a dodgy wheel bearing that I've replaced and just about to re-assemble when I found out...

Not that I'm aware of.

There wasn't any vibration at speed, there was just a rattling noise (quite noticeable) coming from the tensioner when the car was at idle and in gear (i.e. stopped at the...

Replaced the tensioner yesterday morning.

Very straight forward as per the diagram included in previous post. Only other part that was missed was that you need to remove the power steering hose...

Had a bit of a google around about this and found some instructions on the replacement on another forum for a k20 but it looks very similar:...

Hi guys,

Had a search through the forum and couldnt find exactly what I was looking for.

I need to replace the serpentine tensioner on my 03 accord euro as it has quite a bit of...

Check your manual too mate, pretty sure the drain and fill points are in a diagram in there along with the required quants etc. At least all that was in the std manual for my CL9

Big thread on battery options here mate

I "think" from memory that thread mentions optima stopped making one to suit this car due to manufacturing faults? Might have fixed the issue now though,...

Managed to fit the new starter last night, took about an hour and half to re-assemble everything as I was double-checking all connections.

Happy to report that this has fixed the issue - car...

Ok, picked up the starter motor yesterday afternoon (OEX brand, 3 year warranty - brand new not reconditioned) and got to work at removing the suspected dud one last night. Took a couple of hours to...

Removed tensioner pulley on the weekend and took the bearing in, $3.50 from Repco and the belt was a Dayco replacement for $35-ish. Will post the bearing number tomorrow. Whole replacement done in...

The car is currently stuck in my garage so not too bad, could have been stuck in a carpark etc meaning it needed to get towed. I'm going to do the replacement myself, just called around and found a...

Ok so replaced the serpentine belt and tensioner bearing on the weekend and took the battery in to get it tested while the car was out of action - it's holding 395CCA (ran two test loads through it)....

Hi Guys,

Just wondering if anyone has a part number for the tensioner bearing and has done the replacement before?

I'm beginning to suspect a faulty starter motor or loose/corroded cabling to the starter motor as being the cause of this issue. Ive read a few webpages now about issues with the starter needing to...
