Fanbelt Keeps Breaking... - 15th Nov 2006 4:38pm
Ello guys,
While waitin to get my new car sorted im driving my mums vauxhall astra 1.8 diesel estate. But we are having repeated problems with the fanbelt...
A few months ago it snapped, got it replaced, and it was ok for a while. Then it snapped again, took it to a garage again had it replaced and according to my mum she said they "tightened something also" ...
Then a few weeks ago it snapped again! ... so we got it replaced once more. And now its squeeling again so its gonna go again soon.
So question is, whats causing the fanbelt to continually snap ?
Is the garage my mum takes it to basically slapping on crappy fanbelts, or could there be a bigger problem that maybe this garage isnt picking up on ?
any help will be appreciated ... cheers
