What does an I/C pump sound like when it fails?

I was sitting at a light a little while ago and there was a weird sound coming from the engine bay. Soon after, no power. I'm assuming it's the I/C pump. Oh...also, ESP malfunction/visit workshop popped up as well.

Any ideas?

You check your belts? Could mean supercharger belt came off....pulley gone south.

The belt that failed is an 8PK 1290. Is that the factory belt size? I got this car pre-modded so don't really know.

Thanks for the help!

Gives you the Gates size you need in there.

k so some quick math and 1290mm comes out to 50.7 inch belt.

Don't quote me on this but pretty sure a Gates K080510
should do the trick. Will be .3 inches longer but should work great.

They make a 50.5 but I think that will be too snug

Should the belt slip right on once I loosen the tensioner? The original belt and the new belt are the same length, but they will take some serious work to get on. Wondering if this is right.

Check out the Goodyear Gatorback belts. Unique design that grips far better and is very quite
