Hi
I have changed today all the idler pulleys bearings. Brand of the bearings SKF.
Monday i will change the serpentine belt. Length of the belt is 2345 mm. Length of the supercharger belt is 1310 mm. I have the metal idler pulley. At the moment no more ugly sound from the idler pulleys. A few days ago i fix the CD changer, now works perfectly. The power antenna is broke i must fix it.

I would be interested in knowing what you did to your CD player to get it working again.

Hi Xjay8
I did not kept the boxes of the bearing but if you want i will go to the shop and ask for codes, best for you is to take out the metal idler pulley and go to a specialized shop.
One day my CD changer did not want to load the CD I open it and found that the engine that load the disc lost the plastic spiral gear. I found it on the CD player, fix it on the engine rod, i clean the lens also. Now works grate.
I forget to tell you all three bearings cost 15 usd

Finally got the reservoir,pump & nozzle put in and rid of that god awful WASHER FLUID LOW light lol.
Got 4 floor mats from automatstore.com I went with the 8945 Dark Beige From Avery Luxury Touring Carpet 42 oz. Berber customs. Automatstore.com was super swift sending me out a few samples to choose from & delivered the product in maybe 10 days after I ordered. Here's some pics that doesn't really do them justice, due the carpet not being detailed since March & the front mat having a wave from a fold during shipping(flattened out with in an hour for a perfect fit). Anchor slots match perfect & they are super snug to the floor. Really pleased.
Going to have my seats' dye touched up & conditioned very soon so the carpet's due for a shampooing as well.
