Oil change shop says alternator belt is cracked - Toyota Yaris Forums

If its glazed and has deep cracks on the ribs it needs to be changed. The best belts I found for this car are the OEM. You dont have to buy it from toyota. Bando makes the OEM and its alot cheaper.You can find it on rockauto and amazon. There are two sizes, one for ac, and one without. Its very easy to change. There is a 12mm bolt, and 14mm on the bottom. Since there is no tensioner, you have to get a pry bar to tighten it while putting tension on it. Pretty easy job.

You can look up which belt your cars uses on bando belts website.
