Bender Posted January 21, 2016 Author Share Posted January 21, 2016 I was thinking well if its actualy possible to one of those pulleys because of those low temp cant freeze up ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David P Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Does it have any antifreeze in it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 check your crank pulley and alternator pulley. Remove fan belt to do this thoroughly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 As said does it have correct mix of antifreeze, if not and it froze the waterpump possibly wouldn't move hence the aux belt would get rather hot on the non rotating water pump pulley then smell burning rubber and no heating etc etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David P Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Excuse me, maybe I should have asked if the antifreeze had any antifreeze in it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Raven Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 i think it might be an antifreeze issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
