K. firstly, that's a crock. Dodge doesn't capitalize on making MECHANICS rich. Sometimes, probably most of the times, you don't need the whole UNIT, (the tensioner unit) sometimes you just need a new tensioner PULLEY, which is about 20 bucks at eBay motors, and slightly more at NAPA. This so called 700 dollar job, is true when you need the whole "kit n kaboodle" but many times you don't. So yes.....the Pulley is replaceable and NO STUPID ENGINE EXTRACTIONS ARE NECESSARY. This is such a pathetic scam. It takes minutes to bolt and unbolt, a specialty tool may be necessary so to save money (which most of us don't have, and especially when the 700 dollar frickin job costs more than the car is worth, NOW YOU KNOW, tell your frickin mechanic that you know that it should take about 5 minutes to replace the PULLEY, and that's that. I would think that those days are gone where people are being told B.S. so the mechanic could make some money. Dodge, shame on you for not going on to these sites like I did to correct the bookmakers.

Everything written above is a crock...It is an expensive job because you have to unbolt the motor mount and lower torque strut and lift the motor up. It is labor intensive to remove the pumps and pulley's as well. Dodge for some time would only sell the entire engine cover with the pulley attached for $150.00 plus...Now just the pully is available through Gates but you still have to remove the side of the engine.
ASE certified mechanic that has done this job more than once...
Yeah? well once my research (I'm female) was done, and I stress that you must know the difference between the tensioner apparatus (which IS a big job) or just the tensioner pulley, which by the way, (the one belt that controlled the Power Steering not the alternator) Canadian tire in Yarmouth did it in less than two hours, (replaced the PULLEY PART of it, not the whole part) and it cost exactly 143.00 so there you have it. Maybe they had to unbolt a couple things from the motor but it certainly didn't have to come out, just maybe lift an inch or two with a jack underneath, I'm not sure, so they could get into the tight space, but it was a simple job. That's what I'm trying to tell people. So they can STOP GETTING RIPPED OFF, Google your problem, and don't get ripped off. My first quote was for over 1100.00 So there.

How do I know if my 2000 dodge neon has manual or hydraulic timing belt tensioner?
To determine if your 2000 Dodge Neon has a manual or hydraulic timing belt tensioner, you can inspect the tensioner itself. If it has an adjustment bolt or screw that allows you to manually adjust the tension, it's a manual tensioner. Conversely, if it appears to be a sealed unit without any visible adjustment mechanism, it's likely a hydraulic tensioner, which automatically adjusts tension based on oil pressure. You can also consult the owner's manual or a repair guide for specific details about your model's engine.
