Serpentine belt replacement and diagrams please?

You do have to remove the engine mount to replace the belt.

I can get the belt off the pulleys by relasing the tensioner, but cannot get belt up past what seems to be a motor mount. Must I remove this mount or is there some way to thread the belt off that I am not seeing?

If mount is inside the belt loop, then it must be removed.

Hello, I was wondering on how to change the serpentine belt on this car? I was told it involves an engine mount. It has the 3.4L V6 motor. What is the procedure of changing the belt on this car?

Thank you!

Put a floor jack with a piece of wood under the oil pan then pop loose the top engine mounts out.Then you can jack the engine up to get clearance to change the belt.Then you have to release the belt tenisor while removing the belt and putting the new one on.

Belt broken need pattern for installation of new belt.

There should be a sticker on the engine or under the hood showing the routing. If you cannot find that, you will need to tell me which engine you have.

I have a 2002 pontiac grand am. A while back the serpentine belt started squeaking, but it wasn't very loud so i left it alone. Lately the belt is really loud and gets louder as i accelerate. I wanted to know if it can be fixed and for how much. I am in high school and work at a fast food resturant, so i don't have a lot of money, but i just want it fixed and to stop squeaking.

What size engine do you have?Sounds like a bad belt tenisor.

Try spraying a small amount of water on the belt to see if the sound goes away. If it does try changing the belt.

If its getting really loud its more then just a belt.

Could be water pump or the pulley that the serpertin belts on.

I got an 03 did the same loud as hell it was my waterpump

2001 Pontiac Grand Am/ 3.4L V6/62000 miles. I bought a new accessory drive belt to replace old one. But to remove old belt, there is a heavy aluminum mounting type bracket bolted between the engine and the body that must be removed.. does the engine have to be supported to remove this bracket safely? Please help with info. thanks. :?: :P

yes you'll need to support the engine before removing the mount. find a stable place underneath the car to support the engine. don't use the oil pan for support. good luck on your repairs

I replaced the serpentine tensioner but I dont know how its suppose to sit

I have a serpentine belt that keeps slipping off just put on a new tensioner and can't find out why it keeps coming off help please I put the serpentine belt on "the right way " every time all lined up well

check to see if your pulleys are lining up an dnot off use astraight edge for this. then check the belt for bad grooves to many grooves on it. Like not a belt with 7 grooves and 6 on your pulleys. if the belt is frayed at all on either edge replaceit. and it should be anew belt as well. the routing i'm sending is for a 3.4L as you didn't say what engine you have

New serpentine belt as well and it is the 3.4 sorry don't know why its doing it
And the serpentine belt is the one it calls for

So, I had my alternator replaced. Then the serpentine belt broke. I had the belt replaced along with a new belt tensioner assembly. It squealed for a good 2 months... the belt broke this morning. What could be wrong?

You could have a problem in any of the other components driven by that belt and it's going to have to be inspected carefully. The lead suspect would be the A/C compressor locking up.

I need a diagram of the belt routing for this model.
Thanks

Hi
The serpentine belt broke and I was looking for information on putting a new one on.
My main question is how to retract the spring loaded tensioner.
I am presuming a wrench on the bolt at the front of the tensioner will do it but want to be sure.
it is a 3.1 litre v6 with the alt on the top left.
I am pretty sure I have found a digram of the routing for the belt ( car was painted and I can't find one on the vehicle ) but if you could provide that as well that would be great
Thanks

click the link and it will take you all the pictures you may need


locate the tensioner and pull away from the belt

there is a tension bar which you can buy or rent from most auto part stores for like $30. it will make life alot easier for you when you replace the belt.

belt is loose causing power steering to not work.

Check that tensioner is not binding, also look for any contaminants on belt (coolant, oil).

Replace belt, but clean all pulleys with brake clean to remove contaminants. If you find anything on belt, find source of problem before replacing belt.
