2009 Mazda 5 serpentine belt replacement using zip tie! 

Lets take a min to appreciate this man doing the ac belt with one hand.🙋‍♀️

i was about to spend a lot on a mechanic, but you show me that is actually pretty simple process so im gonna do it by myself. Thank you a lot Mike!

Excellent Show I can say one of the Best that I have aver seen on You tube You Very nicely Explained proper process That Everybody can understand even Myself originally from old Country. Best regards from Serbian Canadian Profession OLD Ex-Boxer . Best regards from CANADA .

Mike i appreciate you, I’ve watched all your Mazda 5 videos and have literally done all the work you have. You have saved me time and money and taught me new skills. Thank you very much kind sir.

Holy Toledo. Zip ties rule!

Thank you for posting. Replaced the belts yesterday, using your advice, went smoothly!

Wow! That's very awesome Mike. I replaced my Toyota Corolla belt, and now I'll try with a Mazda 5 (my sister car). I was pretty sure isn't the same way to do it. Thank you Mike, you posted a really helpful video.

Thank you Mike - really helpful guide. I successfully replaced the drive/serpentine belt on our 2008 2.0L Mazda 5 Petrol Automatic using your guide, the belt diagram was very much appreciated. The part number for my UK based car was Dayco 6PK1310. Need to come back and install the A/C belt once it arrives, should be straight forward once I slacken the serpentine belt (which was tearing, otherwise would have waited for the A/C belt to arrive and do it in one go).

Thanks a lot for this tip. I have a stretch belt tool but because the belt runs so close to the inner wing and AC pipe it wouldn't work as it fouled them when rotating the pulley. Instead of chopping the tool down I tried this. Perfect!

Great instructional video, Mike! Straightforward with great tips - especially the zip tie. Thank you!

Great video nice one 👍 and one handed ✋ I remember when I replaced my belts on my e91 BMW 335 I felt really happy and excited 😆 nothing like new belts can't see why some ppl chance thier arm and don't replace things. My belt came off on the motorway due to the water pump going

Very comprehensive video. Worked well on my 2010 Mazda 5. Thank you!

Good idea...I've seen some use a rag. If you take spark plugs out crank will turn easier also.

Swapping both belts in the upcoming week plus AC clutch pack. This will be great as reference 😊

That was really easy to watch thank you I’m attempting to do the same to my car and after you explained how to do it I’m sure I can do it,,,thank you

Thans for the video. It helped me a lot. I have a Volvo with the same engine but without a tensioner. At least it is not like yours, it looks like fixed in place. It is not posible to move forward to release the belt. Now the belt makes sometimes a noise when starting.

Any other Mazda 5 videos or playlist you made. I am about to buy one to practice maintenance with my children.

This saved me a bunch of money and time. Thanks

One handed! Very impressive. Thanks!

Absolut great Job! Thanks so much, it really helped me a lot! Greets and Danke from Germany!

Just did this today. I can verify that the zip tie (very tight) and a third hand at the top of the engine are both necessary.

Super way. Thank you Mike.Polska.

great job.. props from SoCal 👩🏾‍🦲

Minimooooooooooooooo excellent video great video. Today. I am. Learned. Something new. Thank you. Forever and ever

THANK YOU, It was really useful for us

Thank you for the excellent tip! A lot less struggle and swearing doing this task from now on!

Thank you! Saved me a lot of time and money!

Can't you just slide the serpentine over top of the a/c belt. It's plenty big enough?

I have a 2009 Madza 5 manual power steering which is located where the idle pulley is located on your engine, the belt has been lost so I will like you to help me narror down the the number on that belt.

You're awesome man, keep up the good work

Thanks my friend, great video 👍👍👍

you're a freakin GENIUS!!! thank you...

Thank you for the video.well done 👍🤛👏

so only works with stretchy belt only? also does all kinds cars have stretch belt option?

thank you sr for the video,amazing

Hi there thank you for the video. I just got a Mazda2 (2009 2.0L Diesel) I would like to know if it’s any different to change the timing belt on a diesel ? Also do I need to change the water pump as well. Would appreciate if you could help. Thx. Tibor

Thank you Mike that was excellent

Very good job thanks for sharing

Hi Mike and thank you for your video! By any chance, don't you have a full video of a petrol 2L Mazda 5 Engine made pieces and after that put back again? My Mazda 5, a 2008 Mazda 5 with a 2L petrol engine, eats a lot of oil and unfortunatelly I do not have trust in car services in my city.... Do you think that's a job anyone can do? I mean, replacing the valves and so on? Thank you!

So finally you cut it?

Good man with one hand , I’ll used both of mine I think 🤔 I can do it, thank you.

Thanks for sharing this very useful ide for changing belt

Thank you. Well explained. Will do job soon

Thanks for posting this video. You saved our a$$es.

Off topic but i have an 07 mazda 5 with heat issue, have you ever had that with your 5?

How did he pet the belt on the alternator puppy??

Can you possibly do a 2006 2.5 vw beetle serpentine belt?

nice video...!

Hi, I'm getting some hissing sound from that area, when I put wd40 it silences it for a while and come back again.. You reckon I need the belts changed? Belt hasn't been changed since I got it about 4 years.

Great video. Is that the 2.5 L engine ?

Why does your AC belt look used?

at 7:34 he uses a sturdy zip tie to secure the AC belt in the 9 o'clock position, which holds it in place as he cranks the pulley clockwise to the 3 o'clock position. DIY genius...

Hi. Happy new year. May I ask the part number of belt you used for the ac belt replacement thanks

Thanks a lot, very good video

THX😁😁😁

Very good

Hot damn. I love you

That's not an idler pulley,it's the water pump pulley

Awesome

The tensioner has the same life span as belt and your's was a squealing should be done together good trick with zip tie though

Sir Mazda 6 /2009

Thanks excellent service!
