Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Well I went ahead and ordered the one above, did I do the right thing? I have right over 40k miles right now and figured even if my current belt is alright having a spare readily available would be a good idea.

Concern: The price, AutoZone has a Goodyear Gatorback cheaper. Just have to make sure they sell you the AC version of the belt. But 40,000 seems a little early, I didn't do mine until 60.
POST 4Original post
why wouldn't you just go with an original belt. I didn't think 28 dollars is overly expensive http://e-partssales.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=P&Product_Code=99610215166&Category_Code=ENGMECH

Cuz...AutoZone is 3 miles away. My local dealer is an idiot. And I have had enough OEM stuff on the car break to know that I don't aways want the OEM.
POST 6Original post
ok I have a belt installation question. When i was doing mine i cranked on the tensioning pulley a couple of times the wrong direction (counter clock wise). Does anyone see that as a problem?? Did i loosen anything while doing that?
POST 7Original post
Anyone... Help?
POST 8Original post
No one has answer... drive it and in 100 or 200 miles check it out. And get AAA just in case. Good luck

no, you're fine - tt's self adjusting. Just make sure when you put the new belt on you get the ribs lined up w/ the grooves on the other pulleys to prevent any unnecessary wear. Also, keep your old belt as a spare in the car (mine's behind my spare tire) just in case you're stuck in the middle of no where. You'll have better luck finding a 15/16 or 24mm wrench in a pinch than you will a replacement belt Mark on it the direction of travel as well. Congrats on a job well done
