- This is a super easy tutorial for a super easy job!
The Toyota 1ZZ engine can be found in the Corolla, Celica, Matrix/Pontiac Vibe, RAV4 and also I think the Lotus Elise?? Hmmm... Anyways, this is on a 2001 Corolla.

Hey Faye, you didn’t mention needing to remove the 3 bolts from the PS engine mount and jacking the engine up a bit to get clearance enough to remove the lower bolt from the tensioner. Do you have a workaround for that or do you also usually get that mount loose too?
yes that an issue needs to be addressed in this video
2:11 The Tacoma be chillin, POSTED UP
Lotus Elise S in Europe and Asia... yep. Also MR2 MK3. Good vid.
Hi Faye, I have a 2000 GTS Celica, I replaced the serpentine belt alone (it's squeaking) and it's still squeaking! I'm going to do the pulley assembly like in the video. Just wondering if that's what the problem was on this car. Thanks!
Oh when the tensioner starts to go it can absolutely squeak!! But do can any of the driven components as well!! Listen with a mechanics stethoscope to reach individual pulley
To answer your description question; The Lotus Elise had the 2ZZ, the MR2 Spyder (MR-S) has the 1ZZ. This particular problem is covered in TSB EG014-01.
New here. Just found out the tensioner on my 06 Vibe is toast & was looking for a how to vid. Nice job doing this in 4 1/2 mins. Other vids dragged on on on... Looking forward to more
Thank you!!
Did you have to jack the engine up at all to get that long bolt out? It has the same 1ZZ engine but all the videos I'm seeing (besides this one) are showing one of the engine mounts being undone and the engine jacked up slightly from the oil pan. Great video nonetheless!
Ooh a girl that works on cars w Snap On tools 😃😘
Ha! I swear I had seen you in real life before but I was like, Texas, couldn't be. Then I heard you talk about Atomic Auto in Portland and I was like, I knew it. I ran parts for NAPA a few years back and delivered there often. I'm pretty sure I saw you wrenching there and was enamored by your style. Small world.
WHAAAT?! Oh, no way! Small world indeed! Yeah, I often had y'all come out on the weekends when I was working on my personal projects, too! Haha thank you!!
Good Job , My yoda rolla belt tensioner mounting bolt broke off coming out turning an easy job into a nightmare, im thinking the bolt must have been bent cross threaded or corroded cause there was a lot of resistance & i was tempted to tighten up the bolt and forget about it till it was totally shot since it wasn't as bad as the one in your vid .Anyways my fear came true when the bolt snapped flush with the block, I had to get a air drill with 90 deg angle & easy outs oh and remove a engine mount to jack the engine up to have enough room for the bit and then literally 2 hours of drilling later i managed to get the bolt out without ruining the threads and needing a helicoil that friggen sucked lol.
wow ty for sharing this video, i watched over 5 videos and this is by far the clearest one :) can you link where i can buy that exact breaker bar or at least the name of it so i can buy it on amazon? TY
Oh gosh! I think this was from harbor freight!!! I've had it for a while 😅
I never wear gloves when working on my car >.< I just can't stand losing the tactile feel/control that I get with bare hands. I know it's bad and I've got a few scars on my hands/fingers from it but whenever I wear gloves for small detail work I just get pissed off.
Great video! I can't see it so clearly in my MR2 Spyder because of the mid engine layout. That helps a lot!
Thanks so much!! Glad it helped!!👍🏻
It wouldn't be a true "It's Faye" video if you didn't point at the name badge on your Toyota Technician's shirt. LOL! I can't wait for this channel to go mainstream and we can get Faye videos all the time. I watch so many automotive TH-cam channels and love them all but Faye's channel always mellows me out with quality enjoyable automotive learning. I guess she's spoiled me. Smiles.
Haha why thank you for noticing my quirks, and I'm so glad my videos have that impression on you! Yes, if I ever make money from TH-cam, you bet I'd dedicate more time to creating content. That being said, I also really love my small community of people who watch my videos. I feel like the bigger you get, the more jerks come in here just to leave shitty comments, ya know?!
@@FayeHadley Honestly, your quirks make you special and unique in this business. I also agree that a smaller channel has a more devote following. I'm glad I found your channel because you show real-life repairs that DIYer's can tackle because you show all the steps and give full commentary. It's really that good. IF there was EVER another TH-camr that I would love to see you collaborate with in the future, it would be Eric O. from South Main Auto. You both are so gracious and would work extremely well together on a video creation. I know he watches your channel because I've seen his comment on your quality work. I hope someday you reach out to him, or him to you, and you can both gain from the experience. He's a Toyota guy too!! hint, hint. Lol
Great vid..wish had you to work on my 02 gt Celica..im way up in East Tennessee...your chickens are cute also...😁🇺🇸💖
Hi Faye, Thanks for this great video. I just did this job with the help of this video and tightened the tensioner nut and bolt but not to any specific torque spec. Later I read somewhere on Reddit that the bolt should be torqued to 61 ft/lbs and the nut to 21 ft/lbs...is this correct...or should it just be snugged down..job was on a 2004 Celica GT. Thank you:)
Great video thanks. I think I am more surprised it wasn't throwing the belt off. That didn't look good at all. Keep up the great work see you in the next video thanks again
Faye, thanks for your videos, I know I can trust your work!, you're not about taking advantage of people. A question in regards to this particular case. Gates sells two different belts for this application, one to be used with a hydraulic tensioner and one for a spring tensioner. How do I determine which one to use ?
Perfect video, many thanks, alternator seized, it was just the tensioner is was having problems with, 5 years later and you’re still helping out over the pond many thanks from the UK🤪👍
The bolt I have is frozen on the hanger😮. I would like to just do the shock . Looks like I need a 90-degree pneumatic wrench because the AC and Power steering lines are in the way
The 03-07 corollas have lots of tensioner issues, and that tensioner retainer bolt can break off in the cover! You have to be VERY gentle with it.
How cool! Right on I have a 83 celica gt hatchback and my tensioner pulley just died ! R.i.p so cool to see your car dang! 😍Lol
I have a 2ZZ engine Celica and the space is so much cramped. Thanks for the show.
Yay... a lady mechanic, and chook (chicken to you non-kiwi/ozzies) footage.
I'm not a fan of the hydraulic tensioner, so if you have a Toyota car with the 1ZZ, you can use the tensioner from a 1ZZ Pontiac Vibe (same fitment) that has a spring tensioner.
I myself think that not being able to tension the belt by feel sort of blows and I found a conversion setup that replaces the hydraulic with a nut/bolt bracket tensioner.
I stumbled upon it on eBay as "Motorking RK2005"
It's a steel bracket, the welds kind of suck, but it seems OK. I'll install it this weekend.
Yeah I have installed a few and I haven't been super stoked on them, but I definitely understand the feeling. They seem to last for a really long time though, but folks with older cars don't like to spend the $$ on the first replacement of them. They aren't cheap!
Question: When the tensioner ball bearing is bad, does the whole engine vibrate once in while when in the drive mode? >>>>> 2:45
I am glad to see that Daisy has company. ( Really cool looking chicken birds 😀)
Wow im so glad i came across your site. I have two grown daughters and as a father who tells them mechanics is for everybody who is able body. They are both nurses and they see their pops who was prior service fix many friends cars and theirs cause i hate seeing people taken advantage of. Many folks dont have "grip" to pay shops the hourly pay or for marked parts. I have an idea for the less fortunate to create mechanic shops that are some how subsidized like they do hospitals and other stuff we need for daily living. Many billionairs and millionairs dont see a single parent who may live in a rural area that does not have public transportation have to drive many miles to a job or dont have a support system they can rely on. I am subin ya i found ya through the motor city mech. Keep up the great work and could ya do some trouble shooting with scan tools and do some tool ratings wat you feel are not expensive but reliable tools
Wow thank you so much for the kind words, the inspiration, the sub, and also the suggestion! Yes! I will absolutely do that. I will write it down on my video idea list and when I find something that I feel is worthy, I will make a review for sure! I also definitely plan on making scan tool videos and more diagnostics!!
Excellent video
Thank you!
But you didn't torque the nut and bolt or extend the tensioner a half dozen times. Js
Thumbs up!
Can you please help. I can't remove the ac tensioning pull on 93 toyota carola, I removed the 12mm bolt on the pulley but will not come off worried I'm damaging by trying to pry any help would be appreciated since there is nothing out there on subject. Thank you
Is the same for the 2004's?
❤
Did you torque the tensioner bolt to Toyota recommended or just “tight”. Hearing a lot of nightmares about snapping the bolt head either on removal or installation. Also some other videos say the bolt doesn’t have the clearance as there is frame in the way, didn’t seem like you had that issue. They said to raise the engine a tad to allow the bolt to be removed 😮
Thank you for your video! Helped me to change my belt on my 1zz mr2. U rock!
Thank you Faye your a star, finally found someone who posts really useful videos and easy to understand. I need a Faye here in the uk.
real sharp camera images - good job
Are you a toyota technician?
Thank you...u r awsome
1ZZ sounds cool as hell
Awesome video!
Wow, the tensioner replacement doesn't look too hard after all. I removed the belt once to inspect it, but was happy enough just figuring that out without worrying about the tensioner. I think lots of scaremongering forums I read while researching the serpentine procedure told me the tensioner should often be replaced. But I need to learn one thing at a time lol. Don't feel so nervous about having a look see next time I'm in there now. Actually just came here to remind myself what size long wrench needed - 19mm thanks.
ps - I have an oil change to do on a friends leaky honda; yeah I'll be wearing goggles for that one. But I was thinking few days back I need to get myself some garage overalls. Only now I want a pair with my name on them :-)
I have to do this, and I feel like the hardest part will be squishing my arms down to place the belt.
