Scooter Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 Shredded you say.............in what way exactly, frayed at the edges, completely come off/snapped? If its off now, i'd check all the pulleys carefully for damaged areas in the grooves or the outer lips...........Also check from the side that all the pulleys are aligned in the same plane? Spin those you can to check for buckles (although this would probably have had the belt squealing before it failed) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spin those you can to check for buckles (although this would probably have had the belt squealing before it failed) it completely shredded into pieces and wrapped its self around the fan ( loads of long thin separate pieces) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul372 Posted May 30, 2007 Author Share Posted May 30, 2007 i ve been out and looked at my supe and all the pulleys looks ok, aircon pump spins freely, power steering pump spins freely, tensionor spins and the alternator spins freely, all the pulleys look aligned in the same plane, the grove look ok too but in some of the groves i think it looks like little bits of the old belt should i clean the groves out on the pulleys but the groves are not damaged, do you think it was just a crap fanbelt am going to get a proper original fanbelt from toyota Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 It won't be the belt, look elsewhere, ther'll be some mechanical reason for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
