So i'm driving home today from some errands and i decide to put my foot down then i hear this noise and tons of slapping under my hood i'm like, great what did i break... Pull over open the hood, serpentine belt has begun shredding itself. So i'm like, great... home is like right around the corner so i limped home. I'll have to get it towed to the garage tommorow, i dont trust driving on a shredded up belt. Its still there but in bad shape

 

Ha and just when I said you weren't going to have any major break downs :p At least it is an easy fix.

 

Indeed, someone jinxed it....

 

Are you gonna fix it yourself? easy to do & will save you $$$

 

Not sure really, i mean i like saving money (who doesn't) But i also dont wanna screw up my cars timing and all that other nonsense

 

Do it yourself then take the money you saved and get a head unit

 

The serpentine belt has nothing to do with the timing. All you need to do is follow the routing of the current belt. There should be a sticker on front of the car under the hood. They make a long tool for taking the tension of the belt tensioner but you can use a 1/2 inch breaker bar. Here's a link Replacing a Serpentine Belt - YouTube

 

it doesn't? i thought if you didn't have it aligned correctly you could mess things up. and justin...

 

Serpentine belt has nothing to do with the timing. It's a 5 minute job. You can do it!

 

Hmm, maybe i will then..
