Hi guys,
Few months ago my alternator died, so mech. replaced it.
Then a day or 2 later the car over heated, checked, and the alternator /fan belt belt had slipped off.
Took it back in to him, he put a new one on and I asked him to check that the tension was corect. he put new belt on and said it was fine.
Week later, same thing belt comes off, car over heats..
took it in again, they said my harmonic balancer was gone, fair enough as its a common problem, so they replaced that, then about a week later its spat off the belt again!
On the alternator, can you adjust it back and forth? (i.e more towards the back of the car, or more towards the front?)
Cos i have a feeeling the pulleys are slightly out of line.
Any ideas??
