Chris Wilson Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 It's not a fluke, actually. I have seen at least 4 pulley separations where the belts stayed on the part still attached to the crank, and the outer cast iron ring sat in the tray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminator Posted May 9, 2008 Author Share Posted May 9, 2008 It is still pretty amazing that the belt stayed on the remains of the pulley. I think my air con was a bit weak as well. Power steering seemed fine as did water temperatures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bossco Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 (edited) Are there any other tell tale signs of this happening? I dont have a squeeling sounds but I do have a ticking sound that sounds like bearings have gone somewhere. I thought it was a power steering pump but that was changed, along with the tensioner but the ticking/clicking sound is still there. It's only at low temp too. Once the car has warmed up then it dies down. I have no clue what is causing it now???? I've checked my pulleys and there all rotating without any wobble. I may have hi-jacked this thread with no good reason. Edited May 9, 2008 by Bossco (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminator Posted May 10, 2008 Author Share Posted May 10, 2008 If all you pulleys are rotating with out a wobble, I suspect the problem is unrelated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerous brain Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 It's not a fluke, actually. I have seen at least 4 pulley separations where the belts stayed on the part still attached to the crank, and the outer cast iron ring sat in the tray MMM makes me wonder now if mine would run the two miles I need to get it home with the belt being driven by the remnants of the crank pulley? I have a shorter belt that takes out the airco and may help to tension the belt a bit more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
