The serpentine is really easy to replace if you decide to do it yourself. Just need to take the passenger wheel off, one cover in the wheel well comes off and then put a large socket wrench on the idler pulley. Release tension and the twist it off around the other pulleys then reinstall new. Plenty of videos.
Now, the water pump and timing belt are a whole different story. Did that myself and it requires some extra tools, time and a friends...that and if you have 3 arms to get the tensioner tight that would help.
Thats good to learn. How often are you doing the serpentine belts?
i have been reading about the clutch (for when mine does) and boy it doesn't sound fun. Shops seem to charge $1800-2K for it.
That makes sense. I will check the manual for the intervals on the serpentine belts. Now that mine is baselined (first non dealer service at KT), everything else was dealer serviced, will follow the severe as you mentioned.
I am fine working on my own stuff, but since I am new to the Mitsu platform, I wanted the car baselined, then tackle each thing as I learn it.
Went out and took a pic, since everybody was sharing pics. Disregard how dirty it is.
Great car, great color. Definitely go with a more aggressive tire, when it’s time.
