re: #185 Justanotherhuman

Wish I were more mechanically inclined. Have to have a new serpentine belt put on and the EVAC system diagnosed (code came up PO440 and looked it up). Just getting ready for an inspection later. So, this will no doubt be a couple of hundred, at least. I hate spending money…

Justanotherhuman…keep in mind that it is good to replace things like the water pump and anything else that is considered maintenance while doing a serpentine belt. There are also belt tensioners that should be replaced. It is a fairly extensive job and while they have the front of the engine tore apart…replace all the stuff in the area of the job. Saves money and time in the long run. You might do a search to see what mechanics recommend.
