Hyundai i10, 2017 - Serpentine belt - MW


2017 i10 automatic.
23,000 miles. The car is in for its 4 year big service and Hyundai say the drive belt is shredding. They say £160 to supply and fit which sounds crazy.

Some questions.
Is there one belt on an automatic?
How easy is it to change. ( I have done belts before on other cars). Is this a stretch belt?
Eurocar parts say £12.99p for a Dayco belt. I think these are good quality. Are they?
Any help much appreciated.

Serpentine belts have a service life of at least 100k miles , if all the pulleys on the drive system are in good order and the belt is not oil contaminated. Surely the car is under warranty. If it needs a belt at 24k miles , there must be an underlying fault with the car .

That's what I thought. My Lexus was changed at 70,000 miles but it was 16 years old, and a precautionary change before a holiday trip.. It was OK but the usual slight cracking when turn inside out. Is this a stretch belt. Never done one before..

Ford Focus auto. 20yrs old, nearly 150,000 miles. Belt looks fine. No intention of changing it. Gets an occasional squirt from an ancient can of Grako Sprazon belt dressing.
