Following on from my 'water pump failure' post below.
So the serpentine belt is showing cracks, so am replacing it while replacing the broken idler pulley.
I have a new short drive belt, the stretch fit one. I offered it up and it looks woefully short. Before I cut the old one off (looks okay. No cracking), and commit myself, has anyone had success with the various stretch belt installers on Amazon? I know about the small mole grip method. The old belt looks okay, so am in two minds as to whether worth bothering with. Mileage is 180k km, and replacement indicated at 240k km
