Great video. I have a 2011 Terrain 2.4L that needs a belt replaced. I was concerned about having to lift the engine to get the belt off, but this video makes it simple. Thanks.

this was a very good video. The process is even easier on a 2012 equinox because the air cleaner comes right off after only removing the 10mm(2).and laying it up out of the way.
@@1AAuto you're welcome. I found out that it was a 4 instead of a 6. what is the best method to remove and replace the belt tensioner of a 4 cylinder or is it the same. do i need to take the wheel off and jack up?

What is the correct thermostat temperature for a new thermostat for a 2005 Equinox LS V6 3.4L engine please. Great video on replacement of the Engine Belt. It helped tremendously!!
If you remove the belt right after you remove the air box you do not have to touch the engine mount at all I've replaced the starter, water pump, ac compressor and tensioner and never had to touch engine mount 👌
I had my belt changed and got it back and it was making a real loud sound. I took my car back and sound went away for a bit but then it started over heating and I can see the pulley wobbling. Idk... my AC doesn't work that well either now. Is this all related you think?

Did you use the same screw or is it new, because I buy a tensioner equal to the one you are going to install and the screw keeps turning and the tensioner is still loose
How do you get the torque values on everything? Do you have factory service manuals are do you use Chilton or Haynes manuals? Thanks! Videos are great!
I luv the video... I would really appreciate if a video can be made for putting on the belt properly. The diagram you displayed isn't enough information for me... a non-mechanic
I hear a rattling noise under the hood of my 2007 chevy equinox and was told by a mechanic it was the tension that needed to be replaced..so does that mean it was the tension rod or actual belt tensioner. He had a heavy accent so I only understood a little, but I hear the rattling noise sometimes itll start when air is on and sometimes itll start on its on. Can you help me please, bc i want to know if its cheaper for me to buy the part and get fixed or pay a mechanic to do everything.
Cheaper to do it yourself, but if unsure buy the parts and bring them to a shop. Most mechanics will install if you bring your own parts for half the cost, then return the part that was not needed(find out return policy).

Hi there, so I followed the plan and then started the car everything seemed to be perfect. It’s my girlfriends car so I was trying to save her money at a shop. We turned the car off after letting it run for a while and then we tried to turn it back on and nothing. Didn’t even crank. Also the t/c light came on. It has a new battery an it had 12 on the the battery I just don’t get it. Any suggestions would be great

I recently changed my belt but I'm going to replace it again while I am doing the tensioner.

Excellent video, very helpful, informative, and makes it look easy, maybe I'll just have the wife do it. thanx.
Saved the day once again! Thank you
If you remove the belt right after you remove the air box you do not have to touch the engine mount at all I've replaced the starter, water pump, ac compressor and tensioner and never had to touch engine mount 👌
But you have to remove the mount to replace the belt, correct? Looks like the belt goes around the mount....
Do I need to disconnect the battery to do this?
can you please make a video on how to replace alternator on a 2006 equinox
While you have the belt off. Unplug the alternator and take the bolts out. Take the old one off, put the new one on.

check your belt layout, the alternator could not be charging the battery if the belt isnt routed right
Some shop told me this would take 3 hours and cost $845 with tax 😳
