So my serpentine belt died a glorious death today, and when I went to fit a replacement it kept jumping the last rib off the harmonic balancer. I discovered that the compressor bolt that faces the front of the car has sheared itself in two about the middle, so will have to get the prick removed, fantastic.
The bolt is covered in some dark grey grease like stuff, any idea what this is?
Also would it be bad to just remove the compressor altogether and run the VS Ecotec non-aircon belt? My compressor hasn't worked in over a year and I probably won't replace it until next summer.
Cheers in advance.
