V Belt is thin and V in shape, and is normally used to power a single component in a system of pulleys. Serpentine Belt is wider, and is used to drive multiple components in automotive engine, it loops continuous over several pulleys. In addition, V Belts are normally found in older automotives.
VX belt is cogged V-belt
How do I rethread the serpentine belt on a 2002 Malibu with a V-6?

V Belt and Serpentine Belt.
If it is a serpentine belt the automatic tensioner will adjust the belt for you. If it is an older "V" type belt--there should be 1/2" "play" at the middle of the belt, between the pulleys.
One serpentine, and one "v" belt.
there is no serpentine belt on an '86. there is a v-belt and a timing belt. the v-belt is tightened by moving the alternator. the timing belt is tightened by rotating the inner core of the tensioner. the inner core is eccentricly mounted, i.e. if you rotate it, the tensioner moves. there is a serpentine belt alond with two independent belts.
You will need to loosen the tensioner pulley. Slide the tensioner pulley to the right and the serpentine belt will become loose. Remove the old serpentine belt and put the new serpentine belt on. Slide the tensioner pulley to the left and tighten it.
It could be but the accessory belt could also be a v-belt type belt.
Begin by loosening the tensioner pulley. Slide the tensioner pulley to the right. The old serpentine belt will become loose and can be removed. Put the new serpentine belt on and reverse a process.
A rubber belt that goes around all pulleys & has idlers as tensioners. On cars there are either v belts (belts shaped like a "v" that are tightened by moving accessories) or serpentine, which is usually one ribbed belt with idlers.
