Look on the ribbed side of the belt as it is going over pulleys. If you see cracks it would be wise to replace it.
I don't know too.
Look on the back side of the serpentine belt (the side of the belt with the ribs). If any of the ribs are cracked the belt should be replaced. Take a look at the physical condition. If it is cracked on the inside (groove or V side) it needs to be replaced.
i dont know im not a car expert.
Need to know what engine you have in order to answer this.
just need to know where it is located on car
Your belt should be checked for cracks or tears if you see these it should be replaced asap
I just get an estimate from a tire store for $93.00, but it would be cheaper if you know how to replace it yourself since the belt was only $43.
That I know of, there is NO serpentine belt, unless you are talking about the the Timing Belt (hardly serpentine, but anyway), it has a belt tensioner, not automatic, though.
Getting the serpentine belt onMost vehicles don't require you to remove parts to install the serpentine belt. Most vehicles have a diagram on the hood or under the hood showing the proper alignment and direction of a serpentine belt. There is a tensioner that must be pulled to allow you to install the belt. With out a 1/2" Socket wrench you will not be able to put the belt on your car. If you don't have a diagram and cant find the tensioner pulley I suggest asking a mechanic for help. Its not time consuming if you know what your doing. I can change my serpentine belt in 10 mins MAX, on my Lincoln caddy and x terra. None of them require removing a part.
To answer this i need to know what size engine your talking about.
