No need to go down rabbit hole but as cheap insurance I'd definitely do belt while you're in there. At only 34k it's likely never been done and at the ripe old age of 16 it's legal to drive on it's own in all 50 states - LOL. Keep old for an emergency spare just in case behind your donut in the frunk. An extra ~ $25 well spent...

Good luck

I agree. Ordered the belt and will throw it on.
It’s cheap piece of mind...
