Snapped Belt

Post by Jonnie1987 »

I heard a loud bang while driving the other day and looking in my rear view mirror I saw what looked to be an aux belt rolling a long the road behind me!

After looking undernieth the car I saw that on the crank shaft pully, the belt furthest away from the engine is missing. Does anyone know which belts these are?

Regards
John

If your car has air conditioning then the belt furthest away from the engine is for the aircon compressor. The next one in is the alternator and then further in behind some plastic covers is the cambelt.
