How to Replace A Serpentine Belt - Nissan Versa 2013 

There’s a ton of tutorials on this car for changing the belt. Yours was by far the most straight forward and showed EVERY step which a lot of people missed. I was having trouble figuring out the order of loosening the two 13mms for the tensioner. You covered it perfectly by showing the timing and direction for it. THANK YOU.

Your video helped a lot, just changed the belt on my 2018 no problem using this vid, car runs so much better. I’m a visual learner, You pressing on the belt and bending it to show tension really helped me gauge the tension, thank you!

very straight and to thr point and the directions are clear and most of all you don't miss steps... which is much appreciated. Most channels miss something and then you get lost when doing it yourself and you think, "oh no... this wasn't in the tutorial. Now what do I do??!" Great video.

Thank you so much for this, I just got this replaced on my girlfriends car and got her back on the road in less than 30 minutes. Your video made this whole job painless and again we both thank you! Cheers!

Just did this myself , was pretty hard core haha. This video makes it look like Legos. You cant really see very much its mostly feel, but the video pointing out where to feel was a great help! The pully bolt was on pretty dang tight. Very good camera angles, getting those clear images is no joke.

Great tutorial! Straight to the point, step by step how to replace the belt!

Thank you for your video. Your angles allow great visibility and your explanation is concise. You also explain how to gauge the tension to the belt. Great tip!

I like that you covered all the little simple things that we always miss...

Amazing tutorial very sound and informative. Someone who has never worked in a car should be able to do this.👍👍

Great tutorial. I really knew what i was getting into because of this. I did mine yesterday on my step-sons car. Alternator and belt. Took me a little over an hour start to finish and i was able to do everything from up top. i would say this it only possible if you have long skinny forearms. It was tight but doable.

I laughed when you said "plenty of room" to work on the belt. I could barely even fit a wrench in there. 🤣

This and changing spark plugs took me 3 hrs yesterday, did the same things on a Toyota avanza and was 40 mins , damn you Nissan 🤣 great video

Replacing belt for the first time. Saving some money and headache with this video ! Thanks 👍!

Nicely done. Camera views & focus were spot on. And thanks for not using one hand for the tools & one for the camera.

You did a very good job on this. Very helpful. Thank you.

Never seen a tensioner setup like this! Weird. Thanks for the help

This was very clear n simple I like the demonstration

Changing my belt for my Versa 2013 for the fist time,, thank you and god bless!

This is exactly the video I needed to see. Thanks a bunch 😊

This video is the best because it shows how to tighten a belt that is squeaking. Thank you👍👍👍🙏

Loved the tutorial. Ty so much for the step by step visuals and commentary. You're video is very helpful.

Very well said, right to the point in replacing belt

Great tutorial on how to replace the belt! but I’m having trouble with the belt making squealing sound when I turn the car on be then it goes away a few seconds later but then when I turn my ac on it squeals a lot and goes away after a minute

Thank you very important sir, well explained 👌🏾

So great video by the way. I just replaced the belt on a 2018 Nissian versa and it's squeling pretty good. I've done many belts without an issue. I thought Maybe I over tensioned it

Great video. Thanks so much!

thank you so much for the amazing tutorial. as many of the other comments state, by far the best tutorial!

Best Descriptive video I've seen, Thanks for posting!

They recommended I should look at replacing this belt and quoted me $170 for parts and labor. All I need is this RU-vid video and the belt costs less than $20. Only thing I don't have is a car jack, but even buying one would be cheaper than getting it replaced for $170

I will try from above next time to see if it's possible

Excellent video and information. Thank you for sharing 🙏👍

I just got some socket caps for 4 dollars from harbor freight and did it from the top in 10 mins . No tire or liner removal

You're lucky that idler pulley nut came off so easily. Mine was tight and a open end wrench wouldn't do the trick and almost rounded it off. My Kobalt 3/8 drive ratchet wouldn't fit over the nut with the socket attached because the sheet metal of the unibody was too close to the pulley nut. My 1/4 drive fit but it broke when trying to loosen that nut. I ended up going to China Freight Tools to buy a push through style socket and ratchet set. It looks like a ratcheting wrench with sockets that are shallow and have a hex flats on thr outside. Spent more time messing with the damn splash shield and putting the wheel back on than changing the belt lol.

Excellent very well and simple thorough instructions!

The horror 😱 I felt when you had the belt over the little knob, what a relief when you fixed it 😂

Thank you so much for teaching me how to change my serpentine belt🥺

Perfect Thanks!!!

Thank you for the amazing video! 100s of videos like it but yours if by far the best, thanks your help again!

Hey man! The pulley was insanely tight on there lol do you recommend tightening it back up like it was? Getting a little bit of a squeal noise at startup for like 3-5 seconds….

Great step by step thanks

I appreciate your will to teach the world 😇

Thanks bro

Thank you sir very clear instructions.

Easy job... I drove the car up on ramps for access from underneath now that a 13mm is all I need.

Great vid and well explanation. Thx !

Thanks again buddy!😊

Very informative. thanks for sharing. will do this job soon...

Awesome video thanks

Great Video man get right to the point Thanks for posting

You rock, thank you so much.

Great tutorial !! 👍

Excellent video, thank you for posting.

Anyone have any tips/tools on how to get that tensioner bolt off if it’s too tight? I used a 13 mm wrench but it felt like Hercules couldn’t even get that loosened.

Great! Thanks!

Hello. I just did this and now there’s a loud clicking noise coming from that area. Can anyone give me some advice on what that can be?

Hi, nice video thanks! The compressor pulley in the end of your video is not spinning, however. Is that not a problem? (My compressor pulley also doesn’t turn for a couple of seconds and then starts turning, not sure if it means I did something wrong.

Great job!

Really great video, super helpful!

Great Video....thank you Sir.

Thanks for great content.

Loved it, thanks so much!!

.....was that compressor pulley not rotating? Shouldnt that be free spining until clutch is engaged?

Very helpful😁👍

Very nice video 👍 thanks

Thank you!!!!!!!

is this the 1.6 engine?

Good video. Seems same layout of my March 2013 except mine takes a longer belt the 1165. A mechanic tried the smaller belt but couldnt get it on then put old belt back on, 1 week later belt broke in 2 and it broke the AC coil wire. Got a temporary 6PK1165 and a different mechanic put that on, said the pully bracket was bent so he bent it back. AC company changed coil and its been running bad and noisy since then. Waiting on Nissan factory belt - 7PK1165. Would slimmer belt possibly cause rattling noise as you gas it and more if the AC is on? Plus lack of power and extreme lack of power with AC on (before belt broke there was a little loss of power but not like this). Checked computer and no error codes or misfires. Engine does shake too much though. I might try and put the right belt on myself this time. Its very hard to reach though.

thank you

Thank you

Nice video just to know what is the number belt?

Great video, been looking for this, followed your instructions and successfully replaced my serpintine belt, tensioned the belt so I can flex 90 degrees like you did, started the engine and there was squeaking coming from the belt, took it for a spin and the squeak stops at high rpm but it's comes back at a low rpm, so I tensioned the belt a bit more and the squeak is not loud as before, I don't wanna over tension the belt, can you please advise on what I can do to stop the squeak completely, thanks.

Thanks for sharing. Anyway, can we replace the serpentine, without loosen the pulley?only loosen the tensioner bolt?thanks

does anyone have the torque spec?✌ find it ill jot it down

The first 13 mm bolt won't loosen up at all. Its too tight. Im about to ruin the nut. Is there something i have to loosen first??

Wtf I literally took the old one off got the new one installed it squeals a bit on start up so I go to take it off and readjust adjust the tension and now I cannot get the belt back on for the life of me it’s like it shrunk in my hand

😎

What is the mileage of this car when you replaced the belt? Thank you..

Just wondering, was that the 1.6l engine?

What a great video, very easy to follow instructions. I'm going to do my belt now. By the way, we also have a RU-vid channel called "Hunt and Gather with the Chatters" where we go out as a family and hunt/fish for meals. Don't know if it's you're thing, but check it out if it is. Thanks again!

what should be tightened/loosened when you hear a weird noise?

Like 🎉

Dude, I think you forgotten to put on that emergency brake

That bottom right pully was not moving…

A belt length and part# would round out the video autozone gave me the wrong one twice!

I wish the auto makers had all that plastic stuck up their rear end.

Fuck it I’ll just pay to get it replaced lol. Great video tho

If you're changing your serpentine belt do not do what this video says it is ridiculously unnecessary I just changed mine it took me 5 minutes from the top easy to get to just as easy as any other belt I've ever done you do not have to tear apart the bottom of the car just to put a serpentine belt on that's ridiculous

Great Video! Thanks!
