| Hi folks, Have a few things going on with my drive belt. Last month, the day that my wife and I started our drive down the west country the drive belt decided to give in, luckerly it was only 3 miles from our front door. New drive belt on, and 700miles later that has gone west also. The drive belt are factory fit, now this one has started to make a noise and a burning smell in coming into the cab. I have the correct tension on the belt, and all the pullies look correct and line up with each other, any idea's thanks chris.

| Re: drive belt If the drive belt is the same as the timming belt then this might help. The images are upside down but you can rotate them . I couldn't save a rotated images. See attached files.

| Re: drive belt Thanks for that, put my aussie hat on LOL. All looks OK, I heard that spraying the belt and pullies with WD40 helps what do you think??

| Re: drive belt I don't think that will help. I would check the tensioner and recheck the tension. Just a guess as I am not a mechanic. good luck

| Re: drive belt hi, but when do you stop, do you not run the risk of damerging the berings in one of the pullies

| Re: drive belt If you mean the tension of the cambelt as far as I am aware it is a comfortable one quarter turn or twist of the belt when it is fitted.
