If I need to adjust (or even replace) a fan belt on the 3.2L is in the car is there enough access to do that if the firewall sound deadening has been removed?
Fiddly at best would be my guess... Thanks! |

Thanks! 1st rule of mid engine cars applies -- Drop the engine. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Mark Henry and others have created access panels for easy access. For me that isn't an option. I just cant bring myself to cut a hole like that though I'm sure it works for fan access and alternator replacment. Early on in my teener ownership I just learned to drop the engine. I will grant that dropping a six is not as simple as dropping the type 4. However, I still see it as the price of entry to the mid-engine cars. Pantera might the the only mid engine car that I can think of that looks remotely serviceable. Had a work acquaintenace that owned a Ferrari 308. Same schtick. All sorts of creative ways to try to service stuff with engine in but he concedes that it was usually quicker to just drop the engine. |
