R88RPE Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 Hello my rev up has snapped two air con belts in the past 1000miles. The first one had been fitted by the previous owner so I thought that had broke due to being over tightened but last night the one I fitted snapped. Does anyone have any idea why this could be happening and what to check? I can't find much online about 350z's snapping belts Quote
KyleR Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 (edited) Must be either you overtightened it too, or theres something rubbing on it. Check all hardware incase one is a little damaged. Edited October 29, 2015 by KyleR Quote
evilscorp Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 (edited) Alignment? (Not common.). Most likely as above ^^ Edited October 29, 2015 by evilscorp Quote
R88RPE Posted October 29, 2015 Author Posted October 29, 2015 Iv had it on a ramp and spinning the air con pump by hand seems very stiff. A mechanic suggested fitting a new pump. Car has only done 46k Can the pump be refurbished? Anyone else had this problem? I didn't over Tighten the belt Quote
veilside z Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 You can get a 2nd hand pump from zmanalex on here, but the pump not running freely wont help. Quote
R88RPE Posted October 29, 2015 Author Posted October 29, 2015 OK thanks guys. I'll pm him and get a price for a refurbished one too Quote
