my 3 popped a belt the other day and i rolled it into the dealer. the belt on the side of the engine was off/snapped(couldnt tell). later the dealer called and said that both belts need replacing.....huh? i thought this car had a universal belt. she said the tension belt broke and knocked the other one off.......this sounds like crazy talk to me....any answers?

 

You have two belts........it's just that simple!

 

simple? they stated that there are 3 belts.... one for the AC, one for PS, and one for the drive.....

 

What year? my 2007 2.3L has two, a stretchy one and a serpintine. The power steering is electric now, maybe you talked with a guy that is used to older cars or something.

 

Maybe he should lift his hood and count! Jeez!
Give him the answer, and he doesn't like it.
