Well i traded my fwd for a auto awd last nite and on the way home my car started to get hot and volts started to drop . come to find out my belts flew off and now i have no clue what it needs. I have tried searching but haven't got a real answer yet. I believe this is a Saturn alt ( pic below) the car is a 92 auto awd with a 97+ 2g 7 bolt motor in it ( if that matters and please dont mock the car for having that motor )
It looks like i lost 2 belts i believe there is 3 total ( one is still on ps pump ) so does anyone have any idea what belts sizes are needed?



i didnt even think about it . its a 1g 7 bolt its got the front and rear motor mounts so ignore that part of my post . i still need belt sizes

Not sure about the specifics belt, but if all else fails you can take a piece of string and route it around the path the belt should follow. Once you have the full route, measure the string for a belt size and compare it to the oem specs. Advance auto or other parts store typically has belt lengths.

The alternator is also adjustable, so if you were to pick one up that was slightly smaller or bigger, you should be able to move the alternator for the correct tension.

look at a dsm factory belt....I know the belt im using last numbers are 420 which is the length

see link above, I think the 3rd or 4th posts comments on how the alternator was not made for the car, and they had to measure the length of the belt for advance auto to find.

Go with using the string thats what i did in the same senario worked perfect i pushed alt all the way up so shortest route and messured and went close as i could for belt size obviously dont go shorter than measurement 1 size up

i got it thanks .
