Sorry for doing another thread on same topic, I just wanted to start fresh with the update and start the conversation from this stage rather thna the other thread already 4 pages long.
My car has gone through 2 drivebelt in 18 months, this is now the 3rd. something keeps shrtedding them. there is also a grating sound coming from that area althoguh I felt the pulleys they feel tight.
car is at 197 on clock.
I have made progress with you guys helping me, I finally figured out how to put the drivebelt on my car ( vectra 1.9 120 bhp ).
Car started fine and I shut engine off about 30
seconds to see this a groove on the new belt, I don't see anything sharp and the belt is fitted according to the diagram.
The old belt had a similar groove on it in the same place.
Can someone please tell me what could be causing this ?
Also I noticed when I fit the drive belt it looks straight at the top like this
but after I shut off the engine after
a few seconds it looks wonky from the top and also the belt slips off a bit off the crankshaft pulley likes this
Csn someone please tell me why the belt slips off the crankshaft pulley a bit once the engine has been running for 30 seconds and also what is socring the belt like this ? thanks
here is a viceo of something, potentially a bad pulley rattling near/on drivebelt area, what couldi t be ?
thanks
Also there sh1ould be 6 pulleys altogether but i only see 5 on my car
