Is it answer A, B, C, or D ? I'd say it might of been letter E. - Owner
neglect of routine maintenance and inspection.

I second that. 3800's dont blow unless you got a abusive and/or
neglectful owner.

3800's never just "Blow up" without a damn good reason too! Especially one
that young. Now with that said....DEFINE: BLOWN?
As in engine is a "rock" & just plays dead? Or maybe "blown" as it blows
coolant out the tail pipe? hmmmm?

How's the services been on this car? Upkeep? Was there any warnings
neglected? CES light on before it happened?

Reread the subject line.

After rereading subject line and finding out what car it is, then you
may realize the engine is the 3800V6 - the only engine used in this car
since 1987.

Alan,

How do I replace the serpentine belt on a 98 Pontiac Bonneville (3800 engine)? It looks like the belt goes around the engine mount. Does that need to be moved? Is there a good method of doing this?

it was a 1998 pontiac bonneville sse with v8, unknown litres. evidently all the coolant leaked out and ruined the engine. this was about a year or two ago, dont have the car anymore. the $2600.00 i spent for a used engine and interim car rental still rankles as you can tell.
