One of the three aux belts broke and is jammed in the pulley's. I am thinking of replacing all three but can't find instructions online anywhere.
Can someone tell me how hard for a beginning do it yourselfer and where to find instructions? I'm not even sure of the routing.
Thanks.

1993 940 turbo sedan w/AC.

    Easy.
    Good idea to do them all, cheap insurance.
    Loosen all hold down bolts then back off the adjuster bolts on the A/C unit, alternator & P/S pump.

    1st belt on (closest to engine) is P/S belt from crank to water pump to P/S pump.
    2nd is Alt belt from Crank to ALT.
    Last is A/C belt from crank pulley to A/C unit.

    2 of the belt are VERY close to the same size so be sure you ID them at the parts store so you get the right ones where they belong.

    Then snug up the adjusters and run the car for 10 minutes or so to seat & stretch the belts. Re-tighten the adjusters, tighten ALL the hold down bolts & you are good to go.

      Some suggest after tighten the adjuster screw lock down bolt you back off on the adjuster screw just a tad, the bracket holds the accessory and it helps take some of the pressure (and extend the life) of that long screw
