We own a 2002 hyundai sonata v6.After an oil change service,the service guy said I need a new drive belt.I told him they had replaced it a year ago.He said his records shows they had changed a different belt on the car at that time. Some thing did not sound right so I said no at this time.Got home checked out the owners book,it shows a dohc v6 has two belts and a v6 has but one. Here is the strange part.I check under the hood and the engine shroud has printed on it "DOHC V6 24 VALVE V 6" which I was allways aware of. The manufacture sticker indicates a 500.00 dollar option for the dohc v6. As I only see one serpentine belt from the harmonic balancer to all other pulleys,and no other belts it is obvious they were trying to make some easy money I guess.So if this car only has one belt,and not two for the dohc v6 does this possibly mean it may not be the dohc v6.How would one determine if it is indeed a dohc v6?Thanks to all Paul dmac0923 Enthusiast Mar 6, 2008, 2:33 PM Post #2 of 4 (2677 views) Re: dohc v6 or not Sign In the serpentine belt is what drives your accessories (water pump, alternator, power steering and A/C) and is on the exterior of the motor by the fan and radiator. the drive belts and also known as "timing belts" and they are inside the engine behind the front cover. an extensive engine tear down is required to replace these. __________________________________________________ 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee 2002 Ford Ranger 2004 Toyota Corolla 1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1 Double J Veteran / Moderator Mar 6, 2008, 2:51 PM Post #3 of 4 (2677 views) Re: dohc v6 or not Sign In I show this has only one V6 engine .... a 2.7L ...... It shows only one serpentine drive belt... This vehicle also came with a 4 cylinder...maybe thats where the "option" thing comes in... Here are some pix.. Does the top look anything like these...this is a DOHC engine..second pix is an exploded view of the cams,etc...but it shows the valve covers.....do they look like these?...let me know.... paulbeauc New User Mar 6, 2008, 4:02 PM Post #4 of 4 (2671 views) Re: dohc v6 or not Sign In Hi Jim, The top photo is what you see under the hood.Thanks for your input.   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
