Runs fine.  But with that transverse engine, it's a real bitch to put
the belt on.  You can't see what you're doing, so you have to feel for
the pulleys, keeping a mental image of the routing.  And one or more
keep falling off while you're doing it, so it's over and over until
you get lucky.  Then you have to hold it just right while you lean on a
breaker bar for the tensioner, unless you have three hands, which I don't.
What should have been a 15 minute job ended up taking two hours.
