RE: timing belt
It turns out that the previous owner had already replaced the timing belt, idle and tensioner this year before he sold it to the dealer where I bought it from. There is still kind of a rubbing noise coming from the engine and the dealership told me it is the auxiliary belt and he said that he can replace it for 175. Would it be easier/cheaper for me to change it myself or should I let the dealer do it?
P.S. Where is this belt located?
thanks

RE: timing belt
The auxillary belt is also called a serpentine belt. It's not hard to change, just a tight fit. If you have patience, this is definately something that can be done by someone who a basic tool kit. You just have to make sure you route the belt properly.
You won't damage anything if its installed wrong, well besides possibly the new belt, but its not going to cause engine damage.
