    Default VP Harmonic Balancer Big chunk missing

    Hey, Just wondering if anyone can give me some advise, car started making some noise today, I had a look and the front of the harmonic balancer has a big chunk missing. Will this be alright to run over the next day until I replace the balancer? any help will be appreciated

    if it comes right off you can throw your belt then car will over heat , can smash crank angle sensor , could end up in your radiator ...

    as I said accelerate slowly and no high revs ...

    O.K, thanks! I will make sure I keep an eye out for my battery light then! If the belt comes off then that will come on straight away.
