dan l22 Posted March 27, 2011 Report Posted March 27, 2011 hi all a little help needed, i have just drove my galaxy for about 20 miles on returning i could smell a burning smell.so i popped the bonnet open and noticed one of the wheels which drives the fan belt glowing red hot, the car has air con with the afn engine mrk 1 x reg.its the pulley wheel directly under the alternator. any ideas cheers Quote
chrispb123456 Posted March 27, 2011 Report Posted March 27, 2011 Maybe aircon pump seizing up, try removing belt and turning all the pulleys check for roughness/tightness in alternator and aircon clutch pulley. If they feel OK refit belt and run engine with aircon switched off then see if pulley gets hot, if it don't then aircon pump is causing problem Quote
dan l22 Posted March 27, 2011 Author Report Posted March 27, 2011 thanks for the reply the belt snapped so i checked the pulley wheel that was red hot and it is siezed. is this an expensive job or is there a quick fix like a work around or something my air con does not work anyway coz one of the aircon pipes is snapped.cheers Quote
