well im glad i havent had anything wrong with mine. ouside of replacing a few fuses lol

 

knock on wood

 

already did that lol

 

hey what up i just wanna know how many belts does this car have? Would it be 2. Timing Belt and Serpentine. Let me know, and also what belts are the BEST. GOODYEAR OR THE GATES BELT. thank you

 

Interesting thread to bring up for that. 2 V-Belts (IDK why they call it a serpentine system; it isn't) and the timing belt. Can't go wrong with either of those brands.

 

hey bro, i hate to break it to ya, but all the neons after 2000 have serp belts on them. 2 belts on the motor and one on the timing.

last time i saw a neon with a v-belt was in 96.

 

A serpentine belt is a single belt that runs all accessories. There are two v-shaped belts that run the acc's on the Neons (if I took the v-belts off of my truck, and laid them next to the ones on the Neon, the only difference would be the length). I suppose you could call the timing belt a serpentine belt, but there's not much point in that since it isn't a regular belt and doesn't have the regular serpentine belt function. Timing belts are called toothed or cog belts.

This is a serpentine belt:


That's not what the Neon has...

 

mine does. both of mine do. 2000 and a 2005

they look exactly like that picture except its not a GM. there are two, one is short and runs the a/c ( i think) and the other is alot longer and runs the power steering and the alternator.

i have a spare short one and if you like i can take a pic of it.

 

Well, SOB. I went and looked, and I suppose they are. I must be confusing the Neon with another small car I worked on. Still only supposed to be one belt
