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.
 
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.

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??
 
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
 
hi, but when do you stop, do you not run the risk of damerging the berings in one of the pullies:confused:
 
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.
