serpertine belt

Mine went onmy 98 about 2 years ago. One of the tensioners failed spun off and destroyed the belt. I immediatley shut down an cruised to a stop.

I had the dealer do the work becasue I was stranded in another stated. If I were you becasuse you are concerned I would replace it.

Since then I have worked on my AC and powere steering which required me to take the belt off. It is fairly easy to do and should take an afternoon. The hardest part is getting to it. Once you get the drivers seat out and the back wall carpet, padding and hatch it is really easy to replace. You will need a 24mm wrench to turn the engine belt tensioner.
