Thanks to the many people who have taken the time to post some of the great "HOW TO" forums !! You have saved me a lot of time and $$$$$

I have been looking for a " HOW TO " change the serpentine belt and only come accross the ones including a pully change. Anybody know of a " how to " posting for only a serpentine belt change???

Your belt needs replaced already? Shouldn't it still be covered under the warranty? (Unless you're not driving an '07 in which case you might get better luck in the First Gen forum.)

Yeah I was talking to Scott over at Central Coast Coopers about this very thing a couple nights ago. I'm about due for a belt change just for piece of mind. I have the tool and replacement belts--just not the know how, lol. The Bentley book doesn't go into this either. My car already had the M7 pulley on it when I bought it at 37,000 miles so I have no idea how long the existing belt has been on--but since I'm now at 66,000 miles, figured it's probably about time to look into it.
