I was unaware of the age of the belts in my possession, but their protests became evident every time I initiated the system. Despite my attempts to tighten them, the noise persisted during startup, and it became unbearable.
The task itself was relatively simple, with the power steering tensioner being the most challenging to access. However, everything else was easily reachable. I adjusted all the belts to have about 1/4 inch of play and stored the old ones, considering that an old belt is preferable to having no belt at all.
