- This video shows how to replace the Serpentine Belt (Engine Drive Belt), Belt Tensioner, and Idler Pulley in a 2006 Chrysler Town and Country Touring.
Removing the passenger wheel is the best (and easiest) way to replace just the Serpentine Belt too. Thanks for your knowledgeable video... it made it easy on my 2007 Grand Caravan
Couple things, once the belt is loose take off the tensioner so you don't have to fiddle with.... wrap the new belt around the tensioner before bolting it back on. Oh and I don't think I would be worrying about my AC if my belt brakes! Good video, thx!
Thanks guys my idler pulley just went out and torched the belt. Great instructions and tools needed. :)
Excellent tutorial. I don't need to replace mine yet, but wondered how it is done. Thank You!
Very helpful thanks for being so informative with tools needed and safety. Awesome job.
Very proffessional video. Thank you.
Thanks this video was great! Changed my belt, idler pulley, and tensioner in under 45 minutes!
Well done! One tip however, setting the parking brake will make removal and torquing the wheel nuts much more accurate.
Thank you for your wonderful video!
Thanks Brother.. that belt diagram was perfect..
Great video, I like to have torque specification too. Thank you for your effort.
Outstanding video...thanks a bunch!
My son-in-law tried to do it without watching the video. And had an utter failure. Now he's ready to try it your way and says that looks a whole lot easier than what he was doing!
Very helpful thank you.
Thank you, the video helped me a lot
great job folks!
Wow, great way to remove scare of doing work by yourself as a learner!
Great video. I'm going to fix my mom's van.
Thank you!
Well done
Liked this video. Good detail and organization. Just follow instructions on a day off. Have some koolaid and cookies too! LOL It seems that simple. Thanks guys.
Great video tutorial. One thing I noticed was that in your list of tools you stated a 10mm wrench to remove the negative battery cable. The cable however was not removed. Hmm
A smallish pipe wrench will work to loosen the pully tensioner, just hook it on the farthest little end.
No corrosion. Must be nice. I will attempt this tomorrow. Tried to replace my EGR after it caused a code. Removing the alternator was uneventful. But, the EGR was frozen to the head. I inended on replacing the alternator and EGR. I chose to leave both of them. The idler and tensioner are very corroded. Don't know how it will go. Made end up returning all the parts I bought. We will see.
Great video! Do you know if this would be the same for 2000 Chrysler Voyager? I just had a mechanic tell me going to be a four hour job and he hopes he doesn't have to remove the motor mount. I thought that was a little too much for just the belt. Now I'm wondering if I need a new mechanic.
How did you know it was bad? What kind of noise was it making. I have a 06 grand caravan and I am getting a growling noise. A/C seems fine, power steering seems fine, water pump is not leaking. Hoping it's just these parts. Alternator is up front. Noise is coming from the middle to rear.
Was this done by pulling pressure or actually turning the serpentine toward you
The tensioner locking post snapped off inside the block.
Warning: If you live in a rust belt state, make sure the belt tensioner can be easily removed by hand. If you can't, do not attempt to remove it. The pin will snap off.
I had the belt, idler, and tensioner all changed about 6 months ago, it was quite then started chirping again. I was told it could be caused by a sheen on the pulleys, but I am not so sure. Any one have any other ideas?
It turned out to be the harmonic balancer.
I wish I could do this in less than 8 minutes! I also wish I knew if the tensioner is my problem! (But, mine is an 05 Grand Caravan)
Please add the tool list to the description.
Good video but your voice put me to sleep.
Very poor lighting
