Title: engine belt came off
Post by: Fazeel on 04 November 2011, 12:22:23
my car's engine belt has suddenly come off making it impossible to drive or even keep started.
How do I put it back on ??
Some pictures of how it all sets would be really helpful

I'm hoping you mean the auxiliary (visible) belt, not the cam-belt?

Its the auxillary drive belt,they don't normally come off for no reason so check all pulleys for wear especially the tensioner pulley
