Hi Guys
This morning I started my car and seconds later I could smell burning rubber and see smoke from my engine.! When I stopped and looked in the engine, it was coming from where the belt was slipping on one of the pulleys near the left side of my engine lookind down.
There is a rattly noise and looking closer I can see that the very bottom small pulley looks to be out of line as if the bearing has worn and is not sitting central.?
If you look at the photo, I have indicated this pulley with a red rectangle. If you look at the belt you can see evidence of where the belt seems to have been worn on only half suggesting that the pulley is not straight.?
Can anyone advise if this is a tension pulley, is it easy to replace? Also I think there is only one long rubber belt in the engine so should I be replacing this ?
