Abouit to replace a broken alternator belt... do I really have to take the A/C and water pump belt off first?? And does this affect the timing?
I'm sorry... that's a *Grand* Vitara XL7
Thank you, that's about what I thought...
Once again, XL7 and Grand Vitara are TWO different models but they do share the same engine up to 2006.
Yes, you have to remove the other belt, yes it is a real pain and special tools help. It does not affect timing in any way. Not using
