I have a question: I haven't really looked at it yet, but does the N55 have one belt or more than one? I thought it only had one, but I keep seeing references to the serpentine belt and the accessory belt - I assume they are the same, but the lack of common terminology makes me wonder.

So is this a fairly easy DIY fix without specialized tools or equipment?

First I was thinking of just adjusting the tension and see if that works, and if it doesn't, moving on to replace the belt and maybe pulley(s).


I am going to read through the whole thread ASAP and some of my questions may be answered, but I am at work and won't have time until later today. Any help would be appreciated.


There is only ONE belt. I would replace your belt along with the tensioner and idler pulleys.
