Instructions for Replacing the Auxiliary Belt

Model: Hyundai Sonata - Years 2004-2014
Part: V-belt

On this car model, which has a notably large engine, the auxiliary belt (or trapezoidal belt) is unusually long and is positioned laterally in the engine bay, with very limited space to work with the engine installed; with the engine removed, the process becomes simpler, but it is advisable to note the routing of the belt around the various pulleys (make a sketch or take a photo) before loosening the tensioner and removing it to fit and tension the new one.
