Re: whine/squeak and belt question (pls read)

This is about the  only thing that I have ever done to the VR6 engine.  It
is very easy and I would recommend doing it yourself.  You will need to get
the special bolt that releases the tension on the belt.  I think the belt
cost about $70 from the dealer and they would charge about $225 to do the
change for you.
