My car belt from the alternator just went to shreds. Befroe it happened i heard some noised from my car and the battery light went on i didn;t take it seriously and drove for like three days and the car battery died and the car shut off as well anyone know wat happened and i know to get a new belt but any suggestions to help me gettin my car back runnin on the street.

 

lol lol .....wow i can see that you really pay attention to your cars need .......

you heard a noise, battery lite came on and never bothered to open up the hood and chk it out ???? man you should not own a car and you dont deserve any help........

 

yea that happens wen ur party hard one night and wake up the next moring and forget everything thanks guys for all ur support

 

did u even bother to check ur pulleys, or check ur alternator out to see if its charging ur battery, maybe u just need a new alternator, check that out, and do replace belt and check to see if alernator charging battery.

 

yea i changed the belt and and the alternator works and the battery is fine but after drivin it for like an hour the belt fraied up again idk wat to do

 

first off yeah you need to pay attention to the car second how tight are you running that belt? and you cant expect the battery to charge without the alternator working properly or even work at all dude so check that out

 

yah like dan said plz dont have the belt on too tight and plz check the pulley it self to make sure it dont have any edges on it to cut the belt

 

remove the belt and spin the alt and compressor see if either is locked up and ruining the belt.........if both ok,when u install belt make sure it is totally in the grooves

 

i am assuming your car is 90 or newer where the alt amd a/c compress use same belt

 

alright i got a 92 dx with a 99 integra ls DOCH no vetc no ac no power steerin and i charged my battery up and spun the alternator took it tooo a mechanic and he sayin that the alternator and the crank pully ain;t linen up casue he put the belt in and i think he put it on too tight. i am going to buy another belt but is there anyway to line it up without buyin new parts thanks a lot for all ur help

 

thats why it is so important to give yr model and any changes people make to cars before asking for help

 

who knows maybe ur alternator might be too big and the pull sticking out further out than the crank pulley or it might be to small and in more than the crank pulley or maybe u just need to repostion the alternator by moveing it around in its area

 

most likely a bearing went out on your alt. It happened to my friends corsica and the bearing had melted and caused it to seize up. when it seized, the belt snapped and that was that.

 

ooo thanks for all the help i put in another new belt and it seems to be fine thanks for all the help
