I had to replace my spacer as it somehow disappeared along with the long bolt that secures the link to timing case/engine block, but my new spacer is longer but the correct part number.

Popular Post miketomcat Posted May 2, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted May 2, 2023 I've popped in on the op for a look this evening. The shrouds mountings aren't great hence the fouling but that's been rectified and the alternator pulley is quite worn. My conclusion is the combination of fan drag on the shroud, lack of tension due to stripped bolt and a worn pulley have led to the belt getting hot and shredding. They have fixed two issues already and I've suggested a replacement pulley would help other than that there's nothing obviously wrong so I guess it's a keep an eye on it job. Mike P.S. it was nice to meet you both. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jennydefender90 Posted June 22, 2023 Author Share Posted June 22, 2023 apologies for the delayed message but just a thanks to @miketomcat visiting and having a look. We managed to get the stripped bolt out and replaced and 2 month later (touch wood!) we haven't stripped another belt since. 🙂 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
