I have a 2000 elantra and it is over 100K miles. It runs well still. Except for one thing, my belt squeaks. Im getting it changed but i know that hyndai elantra's have 3 belts in them. are these belts all the same or are they all different? I need to go to the shop and buy the parts, but i don't know what I am looking for! Help someone please! :roll:

I very much doubt they are the same, but they are generally all the same age. I personally don't replace them all at the same time but I do look at them all. If I were you, I would start fresh with the full set of three. I would get them from a parts shop and not the dealership.

Suggested Repair

The three belts are unlikely to be the same part. Inspect all of them, then replace the full set of three with parts from a parts shop rather than the dealership.

The expert says they are probably different but similar in age, recommends inspecting all of them, and suggests replacing the full set from a parts shop rather than the dealership.
