Hi Guys,
Wish you all a very happy new year.
I have a question hope you guys can help.
I have a Fiat Punto Evo (2010) which I have not been using for 3 months, yesterday I tried to start the car but it not start so I suspected the battery might have died.
So I charged my battery with 12v car battery charger for 8 hours and when the led of the charger showed it has done 98% I took it off from the charger.
When I started the car then I started to see smoke coming out of the car , immediately I stopped the car and when I looked where the smoke was coming, I noticed the serpentine/alternator belt has broken.
I have ordered a new serpentine belt and when I tried to install it , I noticed the alternator rotor (AC) on which the belt goes on, is not rotating but the other rotors where the belt goes is rotating.
Is it normal for AC rotor not to rotate but others rotors to move for the serpentine belt. Will it only move when I start the car?
Hope my question makes sense.
Thanks for your help in advance
