Inigo Montoya Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Good idea to inspect your belts. I took my car up to the dealership yesterday to have them check out the tranny seal/wheel bearing issue and while the service adviser was getting my information he popped the hood to check things out. My service advisor is a good guy, and has never tried to rip me off, that is why I go back to him. He shined his flashlight on my power steering alternator and AC belts, and they were just about shredded. I mean chunks taken out on all parts of the ribs. The car is approx 2 years old (06 GT) and has 50K miles on it. Now I am in Phx arizona and we do deal with the hot summers. But go ahead and check them if you have not, I am surprised mine were still holding on. And knowing is half the battle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2006Specb122 Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 WOw timing belt on a 2005? Seems early to replace a timing belt! I am too lazy to go check right now but you have me worried. 300HP and I drive it like I'm a transporter and I have 53k miles. Will I find shredded belts? Temperature is pretty mild here and I notice everything so I would think I would have seen something. I'll check it later today. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
