Our little Corsa was 3 years overdue for having its drive belt (serpentine or accessory belt) changed. Given the age, we decided to also change the tensioner - which proved to be a good idea, since the tensioner pulley bearing was on its way out. This job must be done with extra care, since it requires the removal of the right-side engine mount and bracket in order to make the belt and tensioner more accessible.
The OE part numbers are as follows:
- Tensioner: GM 1340267 / 55565236
- Drive belt: GM 1340017 / 55562422
