It's my own fault! I know it. Never, EVER say to someone how reliable your car is! :bang:
Driving to work this morning and notice that the revs are a little erratic. Think to myself "Ahhh, the old ICV. I'll have to have a look at the guide when I get to work." Then, notice a small puff of smoke from the front wing. "Hmmm, is that me or the guy in front?".
Well, it was me. Smoke is coming off the belts on the cambelt side of the engine. Can't see anything obvious but what I do know is that Shabash! did not overheat (was sitting in traffic so if she was gonna, she was gonna), power steering was fine and the alternator is charging the battery.
So, anyone reckon it's a stuck tensioner? Anything else? Gonna get her shipped to PowerFIAT anyway as she was due her cambelt in 5k so hopefully it is just a stuck tensioner and we'll be away.
Bugger!
