Hi guys, researching in the forum i found that our cars have 3 belts?? is this right? Serpentine belt(passenger side), 1 belt under the black plastic piece that says "Duratec" and another belt behind the engine??

I just want to be sure how many belts does the 00 mystique V6 has.

Thanks in advance.

Delio

Two belts
Water Pump Belt
Acessory Belt

Timing is with chains.

Not sure what belt is "behind the engine"

The water pump belt is the one underneath the plastic cover in the front. Serpentine is on the passenger side.

No offense, but those pictures are pretty crappy; the camera is focusing on the background and not the plugs so they're difficult to see. In any event, I wonder if the car had been sitting for a long time. And were those AP764s, or APP764s? It makes a huge difference since the AP is single platinum and the APP is double. The Duratec definitely needs the double-platinum.
