driving home last night from dinner, heard this weird pop sound and get the infamous red battery light - visit workshop...

lost power steering, but drove it a mile home...




see anything missing? oh - what's that coiled up below? :S



ugh, not a snake...

why is your rear pulley so narrow?

20 minute fix tops, as long as nothing else got damaged

looks like the serpentine pulley on your double pulley is broken. easy to replace the belt, but, I think that pulley needs to be replaced first.

Pull the belts off the car
Pop the dust cap off the front of the pulley
Unbolt the double idler and replace with new one
Replace belts
done

Toadster

yeah, they've been squeaking in the morning... was going to replace them in a week or so, I guess they wanted fixing sooner

Toadster

tensioner blew out and the double idler pulley... nothing died with it thankfully!

Todd glad to see it wasn't too difficult

Is that a hammer dent in your crank pulley? (first picture) Might want to take a triangle file to that.

The rebuild parts for the supercharger idler pulley (the dual pulley) are:

Dayco 89130 is a direct replacement for the plastic pulley. A Dayco 89012 will also work but requires sanding down one side a couple of millimeters. 90mm O.D., 17mm I.D., 6-rib, 22mm belt, 25-28mm width. The stock pulley is 26mm wide.

Metal pulley bearing is a NSK 6203 ZZC3 bearing or equivalent.

The above will cost you about $27 to rebuild versus $540 for a replacement double pulley.

Get the pulley set from Shardul.
