Title: Supercharger belts
Post by: Jezza-7 on November 28, 2011, 06:48:06 PM
On my way home tonight my charger has started making the noise of "my belt is on its way out". The thing that really is annoying is that i only change this about 4 weeks ago. I have been through 3 belts already since september. One belt was stripped by the metal lower timing mark coming loose but for 3 of them to go surely cant be right. The tension is fine and done the same as a timing belt, although im at the very max of the charger allowance on the bracket. Could the anti roll bar mount that bolts to the chassis cause a problem as i know it is very close.

Definitely worth getting into it with ye olde grinder. I previously used the term "fag paper" to describe the clearance on mine, I wasn'tkidding.

Cheers pete, come to think of it i think andy said the same thing now. Using my engine crane.

If that fails the angle grinder will be coming out!

Cheers!!!
