My first major repair I think ! after an airmast replacement !

sosh

You mean the Serp belt?? This is not a repair, its normal maint. This part is a consumable

JPRIZAL

call it drive belt ... when you cant steer anymore ???

Benza

You can't steer ... or you lost your power steering?? I would think you lost your power steering and replacing that belt is FAR from a "major repair"

sosh

If you did not replace it till it broke you are not doing any preventive maint. Suggest you rethink your vehicle maint program if you even have one. And, its not a drive belt. It powers numerous accessories in addition to the power steering. Its called a Sepintine Belt.
