THis isn't a "something is wrong with my car so I'll throw parts at it" situation. From what I know the AC in this car has never worked. I personally don't care for AC. In the beginning I was fine. AC didn't work, car ran fine, I was happy and I'm sure the AC was happy too. Now however, the clutch on the AC rubs and makes a really bad noise even though it's not engaged. It wont engage either.. I'm not too sure on how to fix the issue and don't care to put in the time and don't want to throw out a few hundred to get it repaired. Instead I'm planning on just changing the drive belt, as it needs to be changed) and get a shorter one so it's without the AC. $30 bucks and the problem is solved. So once you put in the new belt how do you know when it's tight? Whats the process for that?
P.S. is the proper term drive belt or serpentine belt?
