This is the fourth video I have seen on this procedure. No one else took off the bottom plastic cover so as to guide the belt onto the lower pulleys. I don't know how it is possible to do the job only from the top. The videos that did it only from the top did not show how they did it. Not surprised as they must have spent hours getting it done. Great job with this video. A detailed video that left nothing out. Thanks.

Thanks for appreciating the process! The quickest way isn't always the fastest way 🚄

As you’ve been told already, this was the best video on this and I watched it while doing my replacement. Took me less than and hour. Longest thing was to Jack up, remove passenger tire and set on Jack stands. The removal of the tire made this job easy! Great video and I’m now subscribed, Thank you.

Thanks! In my original video I made last year I removed the wheel but that video didn't come out good so I never uploaded it because the quality wasn't as great.

Pretty sure I had this job snake bit from the get go… While changing my friends serp, the tensioner SHEERED at that 19mm/17mm bolt/dog/protrusion. I didn’t do the repair prior, my guess is the belt was replaced at 20k or 30k, the car has 48k (miles) now but sits out doors unsheltered so the drive belt was just totally whooped. I have never had that happen before, quite a learning experience! I’ll be making a tool specifically so this never happens again. Very frustrating! REPLACE OEM WITH OEM.

@@richardl341 I'm glad I could help here Richard! I would say for the tensioner pulley you'd have to wait for the noise and for the serpentine belt usually you can see it cracking or ripping visually. It's not a bad idea to replace at the hundred thousand miles Mark but if everything looks good and sounds good it never hurts to save some money right

Doesn't make a difference actually. It would be one extra step removing the roller, then you would have to know the torque specs for that part

Exactly the same advice I was given to me when getting my Valve Cover Gasket done it was Pep Boys so they did that and the tensioner but sound didn't go away so I tooked it to another Pep Boys and they said it's the tensioner again which my warranty covers so I'll see how it goes

@Striker50_

7 ай бұрын

Pep Boys is ok, but I stopped going after my wheel almost flew off on the freeway because they didn't tighten it. One of the things is that they may not replace the proper pulley, they may have assumed it was the tensioner one which is why it continued making the noise. I would say it is an aftermarket one that failed quicker, but it would have at least been quiet for a while before it started to make noises again

@@Striker50_ yeah. I'm up in Ontario Canada. We had a couple cold nights in the minus and it's been warmer with rain last several days. It started with the cold weather and it seems to be getting progressively longer. It does sound like it's coming from the left side of the engine but I could be wrong. The belt is squicking loudly though until the car is driving a good 20-30 minutes on the hwy. So I know it needs to be replaced along with the timing belt. About 200k km or 130k miles. Not sure what else it would be.
