Aux was firmly on so that's not come loose, i think something's gone wrong. But feeling more and more confident it's the alternator/Pully issue. Will find out tomorrow when the garage rings me. If they do say it's the cambelt (even if it's not) get it changed then I have the warrenty with it.

That's also providing its not the cambelt, plus I have no tools as they are 14 miles away in the boot of the xsi!

Voltage drop would cause all the dash lights to come on/go crazy wouldn't it?

It would cause the battery light to come on but if the regulator has been blown, it will do all sorts of weird things...even possibly wreck the ECU but doesn't sound like that.

Really doesn't sound like the cambelt mate. You would know for certain, rather than just be driving and your mate pointing out lights were on.

I started DILLIGAF up once and a load of a smoke poured from under the bonnet and the tensioner had seized. I have my money on it being the tensioner or the alternator letting go!

My alternator packed up the other week.. The only light it should cause to come on is the battery light on the dash. These cars are not intelligent enough to detect any other sort of problem.

It's an easy job to do though, Samass and myself (mostly Samass) did mine in under 90 mins, and fitted a new belt for good measure.

I can't think why there would be smoke though unless something is rubbing..

If a Pully locked up then it would be the belt rubbing on that as it's trying to go round

I think a tensioner has seized. Lets just hope it's the auxiliary not the timing belt... It could have run like like it but not for very long... But would have thought you'd have seen if the aux belt was mangled

Its f*cked.

Cambelt got stuck in a tapping engine component. PM Ed-Doe, he has experience with this.

If left un-attended it well inevitably crumple the front N/S corner of the car, twisting a chassis leg, and turning it a gay shade of diablo...

Toby is talking shit. If the voltage regulator is f*cked it can bring up all sorts of warning lights when it puts anywhere between 6 and 20v through everything. If you've burnt the alternator out, it wouldn't supprise me if the regulator was ruined.
If you need it, I've got a alternator you can have for free/a reach around.
If its a tensioner, there easy to change but getting them second hand isn't as easy as alternators but I doubt it's that because otherwise there wouldn't of been warning lights.

Right so this whole time while the car has been in the garage, it hasn't. The girlfriend came in last night and said that they still hadn't picked my car up. So it's just been sat there this whole time! Pissed off. Gunna call them later

Call them and tell them not to bother, they're clearly not a garage you want to use anyway. I'll drive down tomoz afternoon with the alternator off the cabby and we'll see what we can do mate.

Fair enough mate I've got no tools and think the misses is working so bonus! Already got a tow rope on the boot too Smile

The garage did say they were swamped with work and might tow it yesterday. But prob be today. They said they will take a look and see what's wrong and price it up. Might let them do it then just fix it myself outside haha

Right so I've had "the call" and it was the worth call.

Cambelt has been rubbing on something. Think a combination of aux belt/ cam belt issue. Maybe even fubard bottom Pully?

Any cambelt shredded and snapped.


New engine time!


Anyone got low booster hanging around?
