No, the cam belt drives the cam and possibly the water pump. It is concealed under a shield and is not visible. The serpentine belt drives the alternator, P/S pump, & the A/C and is visible.
no
No , the serpentine belt is on the outside of the engine , it is used for the engine to " drive " the accessories such as the air conditioning compressor etc. The timing belt is under the timing belt cover on the engine
No. The timing belt is under the timing belt cover and drives the water pump, oil pump, and cams from the crankshaft and is necessary for operation of the engine. The serpentine belt is on the outside and drives the alternator, power steering, and air conditioner.
No , the 4.6 liter V8 engine in a 2001 Ford Crown Victoria has ( 2 ) timing chains ( 1 chain to each cylinder head ) and the serpentine belt drives the engine accessories at the front of the engine
No, a timing belt is a different belt than a serpentine belt. A timing belt or chain is used to ensure everything in the engine happens in the proper sequence or time relative to each other. A serpentine belt is a single belt used to provide mechanical power to a variety of engine parts outside the main block, including the oil and water pumps, the alternator, the power steering pump, and others; the exact list depends on the make & model of the car. The serpentine belt is the rubber belt on the outside which runs your water pump, air conditioner, fan if its hooked up that way. The timing belt is actually a chain that times the valves to allow fuel in and exhaust out at the correct timing. The serpentine belt drives the various accessories on your car (alternator, power steering, air conditioning, water pump). This should be changed periodically (average recommended replacement is every 4 - 5 years / 50,000 miles.
You'll have to remove the timing cover which means the motor mount on that side has to come off and the engine weight supported by a block under the pan of the engine. The serpentine belt has to come off first. Then the timing cover. Then the crankshaft pulley. Then the timing belt has to come off. Last thing to do is take the tensioner pulley off last. The new pulley and a new belt will have to have the timing of the valves set correctly. This is beyond the scope of a DIYer. Get a mechanic to do this for you. If the valve timing isn't perfect, the engine will not have any power.
A belt. Possibly your serpentine, maybe your fan belt.. or like many cars it may all be the same thing.. most cars have one belt now. Hopefully not your timing belt if you have one.. may want to check that. If it has a timing belt and an interference engine, if that belt snaps, your whole engine will be ruined.
