The alternator is situated on the right-hand side of the engine, adjacent to the bulkhead. It is driven via a Poly-V-belt from the crankshaft pulley. The Poly-V-belt also drives the water pump, the A/C compressor and the steering servo pump. The belt tension is critical and is adjusted automatically by the belt tensioner. See also page 59, "Warning, charging". NOTICE Serious damage can be done to the car's electrical system if an alternator lead is disconnected while the engine is running.
