hi folks
i was driving to work this morning when my steering went heavty and batt light came on , i nursed it to the local morrison car park ( my god the steering was heavy) pulled bonnet and the small belt i assume that wraps around power steering and water pump had snapped, fair enough ive never changed it but the serp belt seemed to be hanging free as well but not snapped..
should this happen ??? i was late for work so had to abandon it and will call recovery tonite.
Any opinions please???

Auxillary belt also does the Aircon... I think...
All belts fail over time, after all they travel the same distance as the car (at least since it was last replaced)...
I don't think that one is overly difficult to replace, although, it would be worth being both the belts while your at it...
-
Air con has a separate belt.
I changed the (longer) aux belt for a member recently - got a Gates jobbie for under 20 quid!
If you're looking to do this yourself, PM me your email address, and I'll forward the routeing diagram.
HTH. :y

hmmm... me thiks I'll dig a hole and bury myself in it... lol... Brain totally fried atm... :o

Td aux belt does waterpump so don't use without aux belt sorted - you WILL overheat and WILL do damage

Photo often worth 1000 words. If you are on about the 10mm(??) hex, reckon you'll need the bit - I certainly had to go and buy one (£6 or £7)

Hi folks
Im now sorted after more time than i care to admit to this afternoon. A sincere thanks to all who posted , especially John aka 'hoofing it' from Falkirk who went way out his way to meet me and supply part I needed and refused any money whatsoever.
I dont want to sound cheesey but now I realise why these forums are here .
Thanks
Phil :y

Glad the local members managed to sort it our amongst themselves - thats what this site is about - being an enabler for like minded members to help each other out, either virtually, or in person :y
Well done on getting it fixed :y
