Can i do it myself? Old belt came off while driving 2 days ago.

Yes you can, you just need to knock out the spacer to get the new belt in. I'll do a seach and see if I can find a thread w/pics on it.

thou I'm not positive a series 1 is the same as the series 2 engine.

what is a spacer and where is it kocated?

Tim is mistaken.

No spacer is necessary on any Series 1 motor. Supercharged or not.

Put 15mm socket on the spring loaded tensioner (in the center of the pulley) and apply force to move the tensioner, then rethread the belt.

Sorry 'bout that, glad I put that disclaimer in there I did search but didn't come up with anything for the series1 belt change. At least I know for sure now.

there is a large piece of metal to the right of my battery and engine coolant storage. I don't kno what it is but i dont think i will be able to put the belt on without moving it.

That is the torque axis engine mount. The belt goes around it, not through it. There is nothing to remove on your L27 engine. Check the radiator core support or your owner'* manual for belt routing.

I can change your belt in 30 seconds with only a 15mm socket and ratchet.

thanks i have 2 more questions:

1. How do i place the belt around the torque?

2. Wat side of the belt is supposed 2 be faced down

If I had an L27 in the driveway, I'd shoot a pic for you, but I don't. You need to refer to a manual or diagram for your car. Do you have a belt routing diagram on the radiator core support or in your owner'* manual?

If not, you can find it on Autozone'* website.

In the meantime, I'd be figuring out why the belt came off in the first place. It'* typically a bad idler pulley at fault. You need ot inspect, shake, wiggle, and turn all pulleys first. And see if any are missing.

The routing diagram can show you where they're supposed to be.

i have a radiator core diagram im just unsure wat side of the belt is supposed to face down
