How do I change serpertine drive belt on 2003 Saturn vue

Use this youtube site for step-by-step timing belt correctly changed. 2003 saturn veu timing belt

Hi Mienkins426, The first thing to do is, make a sketch of the lacing (how the old one is fitted) before removing it.....so you won't have a problem installing the new one....The job is easy when you do it that way....

On the 4cly 2.2 engine you DO NOT need to remove the engine mount. If you remove the right front wheel, there is an access panel held in place by plastic push pins. If you remove this panel, it is very easy to remove the belt by attaching a serpentine belt removal tool to the 3/8" drive hole in the tensioner arm.

needs to be replaced every 100,000 Miles

well its fairlly involved, you must remove the air intake and air box bottom, remove the engine mount,and place a jack under the oil pan with a piece of wood inbetween,otherwise youll crack the very thin oil pan and it will leak,, the remove the bracket on the side of the engine that the mount attached to and then using a 15mm socket pull on the tensioner and the belt will come off,then reassemble

Belt broken. Do not drive!

Hey marcarhernan

This code is set when there is a variance in speed from the transmission input and output shafts. It can be a simple sensor issue or a more complex internal problem. There are several recalls for VUE transmissions but I do not think yours falls under this problem. Yours sounds more like an internal belt issue which Saturn has a technical bulletin for as shown below. This usually requires replacement of the case cover and filter and sometimes the belt depending on the damage. This is the bulletin that has to do with your code;

There is a major law suit against Saturn/GM to solve this.
