Exclamation Pulley broke...

Been wanting to post this for a while now. So I was driving down, all of a sudden I get a battery, coolant and whole other bunch of messages along with the SC not working.

Pull over, pop the hood and find the belts torn and caught up in the fan.

Pulley developed a HUGE wobble from what was no wobble.

I don't understand, if this happened to me then check your pulley too. I don't trust any products made by these guys and never will. No wonder they went underground.

This thread is just to get the guys running these VRP 175 to check them and make sure there is NO WOBBLE.

You get what you pay for....... Or in this case, what you NEVER paid for.

Sounds like you got "Wenzeled" with a little karma thrown in.

And all of this could have been averted if he paid for the pulley. Instead of a few hundred, its going to cost alot more $$$$......to get the car back to where it is driveable.

So true. Well karma will bite BA. Maybe he will have a crank bolt failure and go kaboom.

I'm glad it wasn't just me thinking karma had something to do with it.

Is it just me or does this clown have some ***** to come on here and complain about a pulley that he pretty much ripped off from another member and expect some sympathy from us?

Boo hoo dude.
