I'm talking about the belt that wraps around the water pump and everything else on the front of the engine.
The service guy at the dealership said it was the timing belt... I guess he knows about as much as I do.
The water pump is on the "back" of the engine. It has a belt all to itself.
The Accessory drive belt (serpentine) is located on the front of the engine.
It costs like $15-20 and can be changed in 30 mins. So even at a stealerships greatly increased rates it shouldn't be more than $100 for parts & labor...
Like mentioned - the Duratec has chains. No required change interval.
