Question Replacing Belts... what should I buy?

I want to replace all the belts in my NA S4.

I was wondering... what should I buy? What should I look for?

I was checking Mazdatrix's site, and came across this section:

http://mazdatrix.com/b9.htm

(Near the bottom of the page)

-- and... there are a lot of belts... (sorry for my ignorance )

Which ones will I need?

I don't want to mess up...

Help... and, thank you for your time!

Just go to the parts store and tell them what you need and they can look it for you.

Hmmm... I live in Argentina.

Mazda doesn't exist down here -- that's the problem.

You can possibly get the numbers off the belts that are presently on the car and match them up with the ones needed, or do a
crossreference.

Belt sizes are pretty universal.

What you need depends on what your car is equipped with.

Certainly you need an alternator belt. Probably an air pump belt. Then the other belts are options...

Measure the old belts and go to a bearing/equipment supplier. Now buy new ones that match. They're just standard V-belts.
