Alleen de multiriem vervangen kostte hier 450 euro dus ik zou in mijn handen knijpen voor zo’n factuur.
Pros: expensive multiriem replacement
Vehicle:
Renault
Gates belts , if you have a turbo, and blow a belt every 3 rides like me, they replace - no questions asked. Way better than buying a take off or slightly used imo
Pros: they replace no questions
Get a Toyota belt or one of those gates green belts.
Vehicle:
Toyota

Sometimes, drive belts are recommended for replacement because they've stretched past the auto tensioner's limit or are close to it. It's not always just because they're cracked.
Cons: stretched past limit
Over the past month i’ve replaced basically all my pulleys. Just now changed my harm balancer and put my 3rd Duralast belt on from this month. I turn the car on this morning, still squealing. What’s odd tho was that when i went to lunch, I almost stalled going in the road ????, but the jutter made the squealing stop. Going back to work, it was back. Also when cold it seems to be a lot more loud than driving. When cold, it’s audible even from idle, but after driving it’s just noticeable past 1.5k rpm. Should i try a better belt?
Cons: still squealing, loud when cold
