Aux Belt Pulley

[Gary406]

my aux belt was changed few months back and now its rough on the smooth side with a groove,

could this be the pulley ? any1 esle experienced this problem,

Perhaps a stone's got in there or something. I think you'll need to pull the belt off and have a look.

Change and sort quickly,
I left mine 2 or 3 days earlier this year and cost me a packet when it snapped and took out the cambelt.

ok thanks, it was only changed a few months ago, its going back to garage on monday to find out whats the cause

[Gary406]

just had a look at my belts again this time why car is running, the aux belt is running off the pulley next to the alternator

its as tho it wants to run off the pulley towards the engine side

been back to garage just now, they said drop it off in the morning and they will replace the belt at their expense,

if the pulley is at fault i only have to pay for that they will still replace the belt at their cost

so i am not using the car now only to drive garage in the morning , its only half mile away

The idler pulley failed on my last Citreon, it threw the aux belt, but I was lucky - it didn't do any more damage.
Sounds to me like you need to change the idler / tensioner & possibly the belt again.

As Teamy said elsewhere - if you're thinking of taking the aux belt off, take a pic first & save yourself loads of head-scratching.
