I went to replace the serpentine belt on my 2017 Tucson 1.6 L and ran into some issues. First of all I can’t find any videos of anyone doing this on my exact vehicle. They are all either a different engine (2.0 or 2.4) or a different vehicle (veloster or accent). I found a video that helped, but it showed the belt tensioner pulley was located up against the alternator. I don’t have a pulley there as you can see in my picture.
I used this video to remove the old belt. When I put the new belt on, I could not get it to tighten. Because there is no tensioner. So it’s basically falling off. Should I just get another belt that is shorter and put that on? Does anyone have an experience like this? I need help.
