Hey y’all, I’m trying to change out the serpentine belt on my 2009 Toyota Corolla with the 1.8L 4-cylinder engine. It’s starting to squeal, and I figured it’s time to replace it before it gets worse. The problem is, I keep finding all these diagrams online, but none of them seem to match up exactly with what I’m looking at under the hood. I’d love to take care of this myself instead of paying a shop to do it, but I wanna make sure I’m routing the belt correctly.

If anyone’s got a clear diagram for the 1.8L engine, or has done this themselves and can offer some tips, I’d really appreciate it! Plus, if there are any tricks to getting the tensioner to cooperate, I’m all ears. Thanks in advance!
