No, it's really not. I've worked on that horriably designed car enough that she will never own another one....ever. What it took to just replace an accessory belt tensioner was beyond stupid (and they fact they have 8 different freaking designs for it, for the same damn motor, because some engineer can't make up his freaking mind as to which one isn't a POS).[/QB]
Wow sorry to hear about that I like my neon it has alrgiht gas milage and I never thought that belts were hard to get on...you must have the the worst of the worst design. I broke the assc tensioner off and replaced the whole thing in just short of an hour. I didn't think it was that hard. It is a shitty placement yes but not difficult i thought. just my $.02.
hey btw its still a fun car and alright in speed for a daily driver.
