time to change belt
apparantly i need to change on of my belts but i cant remember which one? its a belt you should change after reaching 100,000kms.
does any body know which belt this is and how much approx. it might cost?
cheers
Who told you this?
Sounds like they may be referring to the timing belt...which VZs don't have, they run chains.
Although they could be referring to the serpentine fan belt, but I'm not certain on the life-span of those.
Does the belt have lots cracks through it? Bits missing? Tears? If so, it's probably best to change it sooner rather than later. More preventative maintenance than anything. Better to change it before it breaks and leaves you on the side of the road.
yeahh i dunno a friend of mine told me.. i think its the altenator belt maybee..
i havnt had a chance to have a look at how it looks but yeah.. i dont want to leave it till it rips as u sed..
cheers

Draw a picture of how it goes before you remove the old one as it only fits one way.

the belt going around the alternator goes around your whole engine, ie only the one belt

yeah truuee..
il let yous know how it goes if i get around to doing it
As mentioned, it's a serpentine belt. One belt runs everything.
how much do u guys think it will set me back to change it?
From memory, the belt is a 6PK2555 and will set you back $45-50. Once again, that's just from the top of my head, so don't go quoting me on that.
that sounds like a good pricee.
cheers
That's RRP just for the belt on it's own.
I often get quite shocked reactions from customers when I tell 'em the price..
Blown Alloytec
and you can get them from all auto shops like autobarn and such
But guys it may not need changing at all, as his friend said that the belt needs to be changed every 100 000, his most likely referring to a timing belt, and as already stated, the vz don't have one.
hmm.. well before i think of buying anyfin ill have it checked out to see what really is the problem or if it doesnt even need to be changed. but thanks for the replies
