We can only see 1 belt on the engine, but when I called for an estimate, I was told there are 2 belts, Where is the other belt (NOT THE TIMING BELT) or is the repair shop incorrect and there is only 1 serpentine belt on the car.
So the V6 has only 1 and the 4 cylinder has 2?

    The 4 cylinder model has a different belt configuration than the V6. They may have been thinking of that model. hope this helps!

    So are you saying that the V6 has only one belt and the V4 has two?

    Andy is correct, 4 cylinder engine has two drive belts, V6 has only one fan belt.
