Last night while driving home, the power in my car slowly but surely was going out. and then i eventually began to lose motor power and it finally all shut off. even power steering.
i checked under the hood and everything was normal. then i saw the belt on the alternator. It snapped. Before all of that, i was getting check lights on. not all, but just the majority of the check lights on the dash.

I saw a vintage video on youtube and the guy shows how to replace an alternator belt. (might as well do the other belts while i do this)

What i want to know is, Is changing belts on an s4 motor and s5 motor the same? i have an S5 Turbo. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!!!!

The process is the same for both.

Also, I would recommend downloading a copy of the FSM from here: Foxed.ca , and it won't hurt to also get a Haynes manual as well since it's usually quicker to get most answers there, even though the FSM is more thorough.

Thanks man. I had a hanes manual. I took the old belt that snapped to auto zone and asked for something a little bit bigger and they brought out the right belt. I also had AC, Fan and power steering replaced as well. Its truly healthy again. Its fuuun to fix rx7's. Can't wait to upgrade!!
Tomorrow i will go fix the alignments at a shop. Probably do fluids next week.!!
