Review on πŸ”— Gates Serpentine Belt K040317SF by Jordan Doyle

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Passed through easily with the right tool

Goes well with my 2010 non-turbo 2.5 Forester! My old belt showed no visible signs of wear (see already replaced the squeaky alternator belt, I guess why not - my Scooby has 75,000 miles on it so theoretically it's time to change the belts anyway. Not sure if I believe the Gates video when they show you how to use the tool and claim that the elastic AC belt wears out at the same rate as your normal V-belt belt change I posted a review there but basically you should look into it watch the video a few times how to use the tool before you go under the hood and it's time to change the belt I was a little nauseous when I cut off the old belt as shown in the video it was the hottest day of summer and if it hadn't worked i would have passed out from the air conditioner one!fortunately it's so easy for a caveman to do it n.
