Went for a long ride today ( found a cool road that curves alot and kinda goes up a mountain) anyhow when I first cranked it up I heard a chirping noise and then some when when going fast heard it again, pretty sure a belt needs to be tightened. I checked the haynes and it kinda tells which bolts to loosen, but does not get into the first part, like how to get to it ect. Is this done from top or bottom, any tips appreciated.
thx
steve
ps is there just one belt? its a 2.0
One belt......two black plastic hole covers on driver's side engine tin....you'll need a 4 mm allen hex wrench to loosen the pinch bolt (one under the front plastic hole cover)......
From the top or underneath?
top, or inside the engine compartment.

There's a second little plastic cover on the side of the engine tin. You can reach through the hole that cover is on to push the alternator down, while you tighten the pinch bolt through the front hole. You should not need to hold the nut on the back of the bracket; it should have a tab on it that keys into the slot on the bracket.
