    So theres nothing needs keeping in the same place when changing the belt, ie nothing will go out of time?? Also i'm confused, do we call this a timing belt here and the one behind the casing a cam belt????
    That's the serpentine belt, used for spinning the various system thingies (power steering, AC, alternator, etc)

    The timing (cam) belt is behind the plastic cover(s).

    In Australia, the pulleys all turn the opposite way.

    in russia, the belt turns you

    you know i was under my hood today and just kinda glanced at the idler pulley and got kinda upset cause it didnt look like it was spinning at all.. i was almost dumb enough to try touching it.. but thought better of it, so i grabbed a grease pencil and marked it, it was spinning, just so fast it looked like it was still

    probably not a great idea to reach your hand into a running motor in the belt area...
