Hey wassup?

OK Today my local shop had a deal for 9.99 oil change, so i got my oil changed. I also told them to take a look at everything. The mechanic told me that my belts are cracked and that I should change them soon. He said that I don't have to replace them right away but within a couple months. He said it will cost 100.00 to replace them. How many belts does our car have? And what are they called?, I think he said I need to replace 2 different belts forgot the names! When do the belts go bad usually? Anyone replace any? What are good brand belts? I think the name he said started with a "N" for the belts.

 

timing belts...if they pop your motor is DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

how many miles you have on your car? if you have 80-100K its about time.

 

I got 66k miles

 

i think the other one is your serpentine belt....thats one controls everything else....if its the timing..itll be more than 100.00 dollars......couple people on the boards have said between 400-700 dollar range.....

 

yeah if he's telling you its 100 bucks then its your accessory belts.....100 bucks sounds right. only thing that will happen if it breaks is that youll lose power steering or A/C capability. Just hope your alt. belt dont break b/c then youll need a new battery within a day

 

Ya that sounds like what he said the a/c and power steering belts...

 

USE DEALER BELTS ONLY!!!!
dont use cheap belts
be sure to replace all belts
(might want to replace water pump as well)

 

how much does all dealer belts cost? lol i never brought my car to the dealer but maybe i will to get that warranty work done for the 97 emissions and stuff. Has anyone took there CL in for changing out the belts? not timing one

 

gatorback owns all belts

 

Spend a few bucks more and buy some AEM power pullies. They come w/ new belts.

 

well timing belt and water pump should be done at the same time. I had a friend of mine help me do it because Acura Dealership wanted to charge me $850 for the service...

FUCK THAT!

 

100 isnt too bad. each belt is like 10$ each. so theres 30$. and 70 for labor. not too bad. if u were in tampa id do it for nothing.

 

err anyone in south florida know how to do it?
