The 4 cylinder engines used a timing chain while the V6 engines used a timing belt which must be replaced every 100,000 miles. Since the vehicle described is the SC2, it was originally equipped with the 4 cylinder, dual cam engine, meaning that it has a timing chain.


How do you fix a timing belt tensioner on 97 Saturn SC2 What is cost if mechanic does it?

A 97 SC2 does not have a timing belt, it has a timing CHAIN. The timing chain tensioner is INSIDE the engine, behind the oil pump. Replacing the timing chain tensioner is a complex process, requiring substantial engine dis-assembly, and you should replace the timing chain and sprockets at the same time.HOWEVER...If, as I suspect, you are being told that you need to replace the serpentine belt tensioner, it's a relatively simple process, back off the old tensioner, remove the belt (may as well put on a new one when you're done), a couple bolts and the old tensioner is gone, then put the new one in it's place, tighten it up and install the new belt. Probably a 15 minute process if you have all of the tools and supplies with you. NOTE, it will be much easier if you remove the passenger side tire, pull out the inner fender liner (for access to the engine), and work on it from there.
