Thanks for the kind feedback

Thanks for the feedback and the torque value.

Wow. Glad it helped.

While at it, change the PCV to prevent oil burning, and clean the Throttle Body and Mass Airflow sensor for smooth running engine. Both are easier than belt change and I have videos on them. :-)

Wow, thank you!

Glad it was helpful!

Thanks for the feedback. :-)

Thank you and good luck with the work.

Replacing serpentine belt is very similar in most cars, so once you learn once, you can apply it to many cars.

Yup pretty simple work. Good luck.

Great. Thanks for the feedback.

Great info. Not sure where you are at but here in Houston with 100 degree weather for nearly 2 months now, AC is a must. :-)

@@DIYLifeSkills Ufta, ya I would likely take a hit on the wallet with that kinda weather I guess. It's just $50 now and be able to still carry on, or stop and pay through the nose. Frankly my murano is falling apart. The tranny is definitely the elephant in the room though. I can't fudge that one. I will likely junk it. Take care in texas!

Thanks for the feedback. Yeah this is actually pretty doable DIY at home. Just be sure to follow some of the key safety points I’ve covered.

Thanks for the feedback

Thanks for the feedback.

Good luck. Shouldn’t be too hard.

Great thanks. 😄

Is that what that is? Had no idea. :-)

Oh no, the good thing is belt change in this car is not too challenging. Just pay attention to some small details I covered in the video. And while at it be sure to spin all pulleys and you shouldn’t hear grinding noise and it should rotate straight and there is no free movement. Oh for the belt diagram. I just googled and found it I think in Murano forum.Just search for your model year in google image search. And compare it to the actual belt routing before you remove it.

Let me know how it goes.

@@DIYLifeSkills I sure will!

@@DIYLifeSkills Thank you!

Since you are going to replace the belt, you can just cut the belt. After that, you probably want to remove the tensioner pulley and examine it. I’m thinking you might have to replace the tensioner pulley as well, which is not a bad thing to do with high miles and they are pretty cheap.

I am running into the same issue. I cannot budge the tensioner at all I have had 3 people try and we cannot get the 2 holes aligned in any way. Would cutting the belt help me to be able to remove the tensioner?

Sounds like your tensioner may be defective. That hole is used to remove tension in belt so that you can remove/install belt. For removal, you can just simply cut the belt to remove it since it’s being replaced. Just be aware that tensioner could snap back so stay clear of it. For installation, you can try to rotate the tensioner pulley without the belt and if it’s still not returning back to align to the hole, then I would replace it as it’ll be much harder to install the belt safely without loosening the tension in the belt. Besides, the defective tensioner may not be stretching the belt properly in which case the belt will not last as long and you have suboptimal battery charging through alternator and AC compressor may not work properly.

What year and model is the car? Nearly all cars have a way to loosen the belt so that you can remove and install it back. Some cars you have to loosen the alternator to remove and install the new belt.

This is 2010. As long as it’s same engine it should be same or similar. Even other Nissan’s with the same engine should be similar.

Hello. What's the fan belt number

Could be few things: 1) natural belt wear if it’s very old. How many miles you have in the belt? 2) one if pulley’s bearing has worn and it’s not allowing belt to rotate smoothly and chewing into edges if the belt. Remove the belt and spin all pulleys by hand and they should all rotate smoothly with no noticeable bearing noise. Also they should not wobble, so try to move it by hand in all directions. If you have some free play, it needs to be replaced as well.

After putting new belt, observe that it’s spinning in straight line and shouldn’t make any squeaky noise.
