Default Has anyone changed their serpantine belt?

I have a 2.8 and it's $140 in labor, is it worth that or should I just do it myself?

Default Check the Tech section...

You can look atthe first few steps of the attached link. $140 may be worth it.<ul><li><a href="https://www.audiworld.com/tech/eng39.shtml">https://www.audiworld.com/tech/eng39.shtml</a</li></ul>

Default Whoa, not quite as easy to get to as it was in my Nissan.

I told them to hold off and I figured I'll look at it myself.

Default I looked at the belt during lunch....

I think if you remove the top engine cover you could do it without removing any of the front end parts. It would take a bit of coordination and you would need to be careful not to damage the radiator, but I think it is do-able.
